Nicole Welch Apparitions #1 - - Mount Arapiles and the Mitre Rock 1863, Nicholas Chevalier
pigment ink, face-mounted 95 x 200cm (also available 61 x 130cm) edition of 6 in two sizes (Projected image - Mount Arapiles and the Mitre Rock 1863, Nicholas Chevalier, courtesy of the National Gallery of Australia) In this series of photographs of media installations in the Australian landscape, projected images emerge from the terrain and escarpment, appearing and receding simultaneously. Working on location in the Australian wilderness Welch has projected circular fragments extracted from iconic Australian landscape paintings using a high resolution media projector and recorded them photographically. These works reveal the embedded cultural history and idealism projected onto this land since colonisation, centering on the Australian Romantic landscape painters who brought a European sensibility and vision to their depictions of this 'new' world.
