CreatorTony ColeingTitleCloudDate2007MediumInkjet print on Hahnemuhle paperDimensionsH. 66cm x W. 100cmArtist Statement‘Cloud’ (2007) is one image from a large body of work titled ‘Weather or not’ that Coleing exhibited at his galleries in Brisbane and Sydney in 2008.
All the works in this series dealt with the issue of climate change. Most of the images started with a digital photograph taken at Coleing’s local beach on the Mid North Coast of NSW, which were predominantly used as a background.
Throughout his career, Coleing has always embraced new technology and he was quick to recognise the potential of digital photography and computer software such as Adobe’s Photoshop.
Many of the works include superimposed elements that can be difficult to see at first glance. The subtlety continues in his use of faint text running along the bottom of each image.Accession NumberG2024.9.16Access AdviceFor research purposes only.
