MELISSA AGATE : ARTIST CV

I am a contemporary landscape photographer.
My practice focuses on desert environments, geothermal landscapes, and geological formations, working primarily with medium format film.

In addition to my photographic work, I am a multidisciplinary musician performing as sanso-xtro.
While photography and music remain distinct practices, they occasionally intersect within my artistic output.

Born and currently based on Kaurna land, South Australia
