Shifting ground in some Australian photography

This is a report of a practice-as-research project. The chapter outlines McArdle\u27s discoveries of means by which the pre-conscious processes of binocular vision and steropsis can be made visible in an effect which with one-eyed vision renders the scene 3-dimensional. In the book\u27s introduction editor Mehigan writes "[The] will to creation is only assayable once we estimate the role of the observer in the construction of space. McArdle\u27s contribution, in engaging with the question of the animating presence of the observer focuses not just on what is caught in the lens of the photographer at the moment of depiction, but how the photographer\u27s movement through space is the \u27force field\u27 that insinuates itself into the landscape and enters into a reciprocal relationship with it. The schematism of Euclidean geometry, for this reason, cannot account for the truth of the photographer\u27s images; McArdle\u27s metaphors are singularly non-Euclidean in their description of how objects are held together in the imaginative space of mental awareness.&quot
