Resting Swimmer and Full Moon #0030 — Newcastle Ocean Baths

from $450.00

‘Resting Swimmer and Full Moon #0030 records a swimmer pausing between laps beneath a rising full moon at Newcastle Ocean Baths. Made on film with a Pentax 645 in the late 1980s, the photograph also preserves an incidental piece of the baths' history: at the time the pool was painted pastel blue, rather than the later pastel green. Person, moon and architecture hold a particular moment while the changing colour of the pool quietly marks the passing decades.’

This Limited Edition is available in three sizes, with a maximum of five prints plus up to two Artist Proofs.

‘I make photographs to hang on walls and be appreciated for lifetimes. The soft texture of these bright white papers is integral to how I want you to see and ‘feel’ my work.’

Foley Fine Art Prints are supplied with a signed Certificate of Authenticity. They are expertly crafted to ensure archival quality on Ilford Prestige Galerie Smooth Cotton Rag or Hahnemühle Photo Rag heavyweight paper. The paper size allows for a 20mm white border, but as I treat each scene individually, different pictures may have bespoke crop or form factors. Australia-wide delivery is free via trackable courier, fully insured for damages. Please allow 14-21 days for production and delivery. For Australia-based clients, framing options include dry-mounting your giclée print to an acid-free 5mm foam board with an archival adhesive film. This is then placed in a hand-crafted shadowbox frame made from FSC-certified Australian timber, protected by durable 3mm museum-grade plexiglass. The frame is finished with framer’s tape and stainless steel hanging wire. You can purchase securely with Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Afterpay. Stripe accepts Visa, MasterCard, and American Express, while PayPal also accepts Visa and MasterCard. Damaged or lost artwork: Contact me within 48 hours with pictures if you receive damaged artwork. I’ll replace the edition free of charge if possible. If not, I’ll refund you. Please contact me with any questions or special requests.
