It comprised an installation of huge shadowgrams (one completed and four fragments, the largest a triptych of 4.2 x 6.7 metres) which recorded at life-scale an image of an ocean wave breaking on a wild Victorian seashore at night. 'The Wave' shadowgrams were produced by immersing a 24 square metre raft of black and white photographic paper into the sea at night at Bushrangers Bay (on the edge of Mornington Peninsula National Park in Victoria) and exposing it to moonlight and flash.
