Work: View of Albany from Princess Royal Harbour, Western Australia c. December 2009 (2009-10)
Partner: NewArts Inc & MIX Artists
Location: Albany, Western Australia
Like the maritime explorers before her, Tong documented the coastline from onboard a pilot vessel in Princess Royal Harbour. Making the most of the advantages of digital photography, these images were used by Tong to create a highly detailed drawing of over six metres presented in the format of a concertina book. Tong's exceptional rendering of the landscape includes key local landmarks such as the Grain Silo, Albany Entertainment Centre, the Brig Amity and Wind Farm. Presented on a shelf that enables close viewing, the folded format of the drawing echoes the undulating lines of the Albany coastline and documents the landscape of a city in transition.
