Encounters is a body of work inspired by Historic Japanese Photographer Yukio Tabuchi and his pursuit of understanding the natural environment.

Australian photographer Rohan Hutchinson's approach began with capturing the landscape's seasonal transformations, the neighbouring lands of the 2019 Australian bushfires. In the early phases of this two-year journey, his trajectory quickly changed. In fieldwork, reading the landscape through a euro-centric seasonal calendar proved ineffective, and in this learning process, the work became self-reflective.

Weather conditions, previously assumed, shifted without notice, and the changing transformation presented a unique environment of uncertainty and fragility. Each work presented in exhibition and publication form documents Hutchinson's singular encounters with the new landscape and, as a whole, his journey of discovery.

The Exhibition and publication design was inspired by Kogei, Craft 73 edition 1937, published by Japan Folk Art Association.
