When Heather died, Anthony made a casket in the form of a boat, with the rudder turned, so she would always return to the riverbank in Wilcannia2013
Artist statement: In 1983 I spent a month in Wilcannia, NSW making images that were published in a book Wilcannia, portrait of an Australian town. 25 years later, in 2008, I returned to begin another chapter in this ongoing documentary project.
Also known as Giclee prints or bubble-jet prints, pigment ink-jet prints are generated by computer printers from digital or scanned files using dye-based or pigment-based inks. A series of nozzles spray tiny droplets of ink onto the paper surface in a precise pattern that corresponds to the digital image file. In dye-based prints the ink soaks into the paper, whereas in pigment-based prints the ink rests and dries on top of the paper surface.
Whilst the term is broad, pigment ink-jet prints have come to be associated with prints produced on fine art papers. They are the most versatile and archival method of printing available to photographers today. A wide variety of material on which an image can be printed with such inks are available, including various textures and finishes such as matte photo paper, watercolour paper, cotton canvas or pre-coated canvas.
