'See you tomorrow at 2', said Margaret, ' the last painting will be ready to photograph by then'. The next morning in my studio, surrounded by her paintings, I received a phone call...Margaret had died in her sleep. These photographs are Margaret's world, as it was, immediately after she departed. They are a tribute to the late Margaret Hannah Olley, 24/6/1923 - 26/7/2011. Greg Weight

Desert Air was an exhibition of photographs by Greg Weight and paintings by Carol Ruff. Carol and Greg made several art trips to Central Australia in 2006 and 2007 and explored the landscape in and around Alice Springs for the purpose of creating new artworks. Greg worked into the landscape making changes such as binding senna trees in open fields and painting the small stones that were set into the surface of claypans with watercolour paint. The results were then photographed and printed on cotton rag paper.
The Australian Centre for Photography - Two very different photographers, Greg Weight and Roger Scott shared this exhibition.
