the photographic artwork has been produced by Aus-
tralian contemporary artist marian drew, for the master
bathroom of the up-market residence in the seaside
town of seventeen seventy in Queensland.
the impressionist photographic artwork features a spin-
ning woman uniquely depicting movement and the
female form. the artwork has been integrated into an
exterior translucent frameless glass door. this provides a
highly durable medium for the art-glass application, the
desired level of privacy and light transmission.
the artwork provides an impacting and focused art-
work feature in the bathroom interior, differentiating the
interior from the usual considered interior finishes.

building integrAted ArtFor centuries artworks have had a significant
role in the interior & exterior decor of buildings as
revealed through history. in the modern day,
artworks continue to be desirable for display and
admiration within building environments of all
kinds.
however it is felt that the expectation for the
application and function of artworks have
remained much the same - artworks are usually
limited to display on a wall out of potential harms
way.
Viewcol is determined to revolutionize the
integration of artwork in building environments
through application of its product the Viewcol
graphic insert (also known as ‘Vgi’). through
the application of photographic artworks with
Viewcol’s product and combined with safety
glass, unique design opportunities and solutions
are enabled - both structural and decorative, not
permissible with traditional art substrates.

the Viewcol collectiVe 2011-12Viewcol believes that any search for artwork
should be an enriching experience. Viewcol has
established a diverse collection of adaptable limit-
ed edition photographic artworks for specification
and use with Viewcol’s product
the artworks are sourced from several chosen
Australian photographers and have been
produced in Australia’s vast backyard ranging from
the rainforests of far north Queensland to the surf
breaks of tasmania and across to the boat yards
of western Australia. the artworks provide a sample
of the amazing beauty - natural and abstract that
is found in Australia.
each limited edition artwork is available through
Viewcol and in some cases alternative artworks
- of different compositions and orientations of
the same subject may be available. Additionally,
some artworks can be specified for exclusive use
upon request.

Viewcol grAphic insert - VgiVgi is a transparent printed film substrate
developed to be permanently processed or
inserted into laminated safety glass. Vgi when
processed into glass achieves the building
standard As/nZs 2208-1996 safety glazing
materials within buildings, enabling the product
to applied within a diverse range of interior and
exterior glass applications in buildings.
what makes Vgi superior is the combination of
high colour density and image detail uniquely
possible with the product. in addition to providing
excellent aesthetic qualities, Vgi when processed
with laminated safety glass is highly durable to
moisture, humidity, vandalism and colour fade.

glAss configurAtionsVgi can be processed using multiple glass
configurations enabling the product to be suited
to a diverse range of applications. Vgi can be
supplied to maximum dimensions 1550mm wide
x 4000mm height as an individual piece. glass
configurations include annealed and toughened
glass makeups comprised of different glass types
such as clear float, low iron (starphire), patterned
and mirror. the choice of glass thickness typically
ranges from panes of 2mm to 10mm.
Vgi can be processed to suit transparency
levels ranging from transparent through to opaque.
the transparency level of the finished product is
determined by clear, translucent or opaque
interlayers in the glass makeup.
the processed glass panels can be adapted to
most glass hardware and framing systems suited
to laminated glass.

order processthe Viewcol collective 2011-12 contains an
artwork index for each artist to aid the
selection of an artwork based on the requirements
of the intended application. to specify an artwork,
simply state both the name of the artist and
the artwork along with the desired application
dimensions and transparency level.
in some instances, artworks will require the
composition to be adjusted to suit the intended
application area. for example the orientation
of an artwork may be portrait with an aspect
ratio of 3:2 (height to width) and maximum
recommended size of 2400mm x 1600mm. if
the opening for a door is 2000mm x 1100mm
(aspect ratio of 1.8:1) then the artwork will
need adjustment to suit the application and
aspect ratio.

the photographic artwork was selected by designer rod
busoli to use in the hiA design of the year award winning
kitchen, for the Japanese inspired house in cairns, far
north Queensland.
the artwork has been integrated in an opaque
toughened glass panel and fabricated to size to suit
the custom cabinetry and range-hood with in-built
down-lights.
According to rod: “the kitchen won hiA design of the
year i believe due to the use of the space and the point
of difference with the maple leaf glass splash back, that
was chosen to go with the Japanese inspired design
of the house. it is a major focal point from the outdoor
dining area and is the topic of many conversations.”

lou davidson has pursued her interest in fine art photography after completing her degrees in fine arts and business. A recent ‘sea change’ challenged lou’s photography. living aboard a cruising yacht changed her ‘playing field’ – no longer level or sti l l with a chart table doubling as a studio. lou’s tripod is rendered useless onboard, and difficult to transport ashore in a small dinghy. lou experimented and developed an abstract or impressionist style of photography that doesn’t require pin sharp images or follow the traditional rules of photography.
lou’s camera became her paintbrush without the smells of paint, oils, turps and other media. the camera is her tool to record, not only what her eyes see but what her other senses tell her about the subject, her experience, and her memory of being there. lou uses hand held long exposures moving her camera to “paint” the people, places, animals, and activities encountered in her travels. she often fiddles with the camera settings, uses customised fi lters; or adds anything that l ight penetrates to achieve interesting effects. lou creates themed series of abstract or impressionist images from her favourite places in and around north Queensland both from onshore and offshore.
lou lives aboard her yacht which is currently berthed in a townsvil le marina, or sometimes anchored at an island somewhere off the north Queensland coast.

call of the sea
wendy roche is an Australian impressionist photographer who travels throughout the world capturing images that provoke a deep sense of mystery and mood. her images of nature, often intertwined with the human form, invoke use of movement, colour and light to mesmerise, move and magnetise. her mystic images haunt as well as inspire.
often her photographs depict a place of hope, a favourite refuge, or a meditative land. Awesome and powerful, sensual and natural, risky and individual - her style is unique and timeless. through her lens, we are more human, more in touch with nature, more alert to the possibilities of life and love and living.
wendy is a devotee of Ansel Adams (1902-1984) the American environmentalist and photographer. ‘to photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surfaces and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live or are latent in all things.’ Ansel Adams (1902-1984). An example of this is wendy’s fascination with photographing the stunning beaches at burleigh heads on the eastern coast of Australia. ‘the softness of light gives my photos an ethereal effect. i feel at peace at this place and love the serenity at dusk. it has always been one of my favourite locations to shoot my images.’
wendy has released 3 photographic books. passing images was released in 2009 (limited edition), brushstrokes: the Art of photography in 2010 (limited edition with fellow photographer and mentor, ken ball) and impressions of europe in 2011 (with ken ball).

As a photographer, Andrew davoll is continually drawn to the patterns, textures and design of the natural world. it is here that he finds the inspiration needed to create images that go beyond a depiction of reality to deeply express his creative vision. his goal is to transform the literal into the poetic by attempting to portray what he chooses to see or to construct. in this way, Andrew hopes to capture the image of a personal reality by conveying his feelings and an individual way of seeing things, to communicate in a fresh, new language and to question the rule-driven expectations of photography.
freeman patterson remarks that when making a photograph “the camera looks both ways”, out into the world but also into the heart, spirit and mind of the photographer. Andrew’s images represent a personal journey of discovery about photography, nature and himself – what he sees and who he is combining to form a sense of place and identity.
Andrew’s work is an expression of his ongoing exploration of the natural world through the lens of his camera. the biggest challenge for Andrew is in capturing the essence of these moments and transferring them to his photography. learning to ‘see’ in a new way has been a process of discovery in which the ordinary becomes extraordinary as the wonder of life is revealed. this brings with it a sense of fun, of creating magical places, in making life a mystery and his journey into a creative pathway.
the images Andrew makes have elements of the abstract within them, some more than others. some images are quite surreal (illusions of reality), while others are more easily identified. All articulate a personal response to a specific aspect of nature, an idea or concept. All are open to the viewer’s own interpretation.

A certain moment, a certain angle, a step forward, a step back: light, water, waves reflect a new world...
mark pearson has focussed on photography as an expression of his personal practice, coming to focus more and more in recent years on abstract photography. mark has spent twenty years teaching in the area of expressive arts therapies and counselling, around Australia, and eight years teaching the use of creative arts in international, multi-cultural settings. he has published extensively in the areas of creative arts therapies and personal and therapeutic development.
mark lives close to and works in fremantle. much of mark’s work consists of micro perspectives of the ever-changing water reflections from water-ways around fremantle, perth, sydney, and around Australia. the waterways collection represents several years of capturing naturally occurring images that are simply close-ups of reflections of light on the surface of shifting waters. images represent first light, dawn, midday, dusk, sunset, and the dance of night lights, interpreting the reflections as ‘waterscapes’. sunlight and harbour lights, reflecting from fishing boats, yachts, buildings, trees, shrubs, and wharves, combine with wave motion and the breeze, to create infinite imagery ~ liquid realities of mythological wildfires, beasts, spirit forces and abstract vistas.
strolling beside waterways, enjoying the scenery, taking a break from the rushing world, we are usually unaware of the hidden designs perpetually generated by changing angles of sun, water, waves, breeze, wharves, boats, trees and night lights.this collection of images can contribute to the way we see the environment, and could open eyes to an endless supply of natural beauty. Viewers are encouraged to visit local waterways and wander beside the water and discover the world of reflections.

sydney born photographer Andrew kalda left sydney and the it industry in 2003 to devote his time fully to his love of photography. self taught in the art, Andrew creates unique images with both film and digital equipment using 35mm, medium format and panoramic cameras to capture his images.
Andrew creates his work in a wide variety of genres including traditional landscape, abstract, macro and contemporary works.
with the current profusion of images that have been heavily altered, Andrew draws a clear definition when it comes to the digital manipulation of his work. the underlying principle is that the viewer of the photograph should be aware if the image has been altered and that for a photograph to remain a photograph, the original image should always be clearly obvious.
while Andrew will use digital manipulation on some works to express a particular mood or idea, his landscape and abstract works tend not to use digital manipulation and draw purely on nature and natural light.
it is important that while the provenance of the photograph be available (that is where and how the photograph was taken), the interpretation of what the photograph means be left to the viewer.
Andrew currently lives in far north Queensland, Australia, on the Atherton tablelands near port douglas and the daintree region.

Jane davenport is a professional artist and author of 5 books. her work has been exhibited internationally and featured on tv, radio and in many publications from Qantas magazine to the wall street Journal.
“i make images to express my wonder, love and hope for the world. i like to investigate the peripheral edges of our existence; verges, nature strips, vacant blocks and overgrown gardens. there is such glorious, saturated beauty, both harmonious and ragged in ignored spaces”.
Jane’s collection entitled love and devocean is an ongoing body of work that is added to progressively. “when i am inspired with an idea or emotion to express and start creating my own work based on my ‘discovery’ i feel like Alice slipping down into a wonderland. i can explore nature, and bring it back to a scale that is digestible to me”.
in a further sense, Jane’s photographic work urges the viewer to connect with nature, and consider all forms of life as important. “‘wilderness’ is not some far off place that the ‘powers that be’ are protecting. habitats are far closer than can be imagined, and this is a central theme that often appears in my work”.

stuart gibson is a surf photographer from tasmania, Australia. stuart’s introduction to photography was one of accident, quite literally. A car smash saw him hobbling on crutches and plastered up to a dangerously itchy level, but this forced shore leave proved to be a blessing in disguise as soon as he picked up the camera.
shooting from the beach on a pre-loved canon film rig, stuart realised that he had stumbled onto a good thing, judging not only by the powerful images that he was capturing, but also by his outspoken, eager mates that were mildly excited to see some shots of themselves. it was then that stuart realised he had found his passion and his true life calling.
the collection of photographs within the catalogue are predominantly captured off the shores of tasmania and include surf locations such as shipstern bluff - regarded by many professional surfers as one of the most intense surf locations in the world.
today, stuart’s images are published and recognised around the world, both in print and pixel. his ability to maintain timing and composition in heavy situations is awe-inspiring to say the least, yet his humble attitude earns him respect amongst his peers and the industry.

located in the beautiful blue mountains, west of sydney, steven nowakowski’s childhood ensured nothing less than an enchanted upbringing. good fortune was his exposure to the wonder and magnificence of the Australian bush at such an early age, instilling within him a yearning and love for all things natural and wild.steven says his passion for photography has developed into a strong medium for himself. A desperation to display to fellow Australians, just how uniquely beautiful and delicate our wild lands are. he firmly believes the printed image has, and will, play a vital role in conserving what is left our natural heritage.
steven nowakowski’s photography has since become a professional career. he mostly specialises in Australian wilderness photography. his collection includes wild and remote landscapes of Australia with and without people interacting within it. his collection also includes a vast range of images of environmental destruction and degradation, along with conservation initiatives to preserve and protect our dwindling wilderness.here in cairns, steven successfully manages his own photographic publishing business called steven nowakowski publishing.
his photographic images appear in numerous outdoor magazines, calendars, diaries, books, and he also publishes wilderness posters, postcards, bookmarks, calendars and photographic prints. in 2003 steven launched a wonderfully elegant and powerful photographic art book, about hinchinbrook island. this was a ten year labour of love. more recently he has worked with the kuku yalanji people of the daintree rainforest of north Queensland, a project based on promoting aboriginal fire culture and management.

the contemporary artwork for the series of art-glass
panels was developed by designers from r-co
melbourne, for the up-market restaurant and bar;
the botanical hotel, situated opposite the south yarra
botanical gardens in melbourne. the botanical hotel
had recently undergone a large renovation during the
end of the 2010, including upgrades throughout the
interior & exterior of the building.
the floor-to-ceiling transparent glass panels have been
utilized as partitioning and framed sliding doors to
separate the private dining room from the rest of the
restaurant. the artwork has been integrated within a
series of transparent glass panels providing an
excellent practical solution given the importance
placed on the required durability of the artwork within
the high traffic area and additionally the desired level of
privacy and light transmission.
