Merewether Ocean Baths, Newcastle
‘Australia’s Ocean Baths are very familiar to my camera. Often a visual feast, ‘The Baths' can be just as sensory with eyes closed.
Squeals of fun, the slap of bare feet on wet concrete, crashing waves and the squarks of seagulls picture the story of the Australian coast indelibly on my mind.
These coastal pools, spread around Australia, were built initially to safely wet and cool the citizens on hot summer days. Now, they also hold memories and remnants of past living and lives.
Worn, whitewashed steps have seen the same feet skip and later shuffle, growing from tiny and soft to gnarled and wide. Holding small, excited hands, parents have nurtured the tentative steps of offspring beginning their own memories. These places are community; gathering places of clans and friends.
On this cool winter’s day, I set my camera for an extended 17-minute exposure. It was long enough to ‘disappear’ the hardy swimmers lapping towards the numbered blocks on either side of the pool.
A ’trick’ of photography giving me an undisturbed place for my own nostalgia.’ #7250

‘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 Australian-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.
