Artist statement: ‘Moving 1’ is from the nine-image series Moving.
‘Everything is in motion. Everything flows. Everything is vibrating.’ – Wayne Dyer
The series Moving, was inspired when I flew over a diverse range of natural geographical formations and man-made structures in Victoria, Australia. I was struck by the diversity of texture and colour, which seemed to produce a unique canvas as I moved.
In the piece ‘Moving 1’, the rich yellows and oranges of the soil contrast with the darkness of the black coal. The waves of colour shift across the image while the unseen miners continue to strip important resources from the earth.

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.
