Tracy Moffat is well known for her photography, film and video. Her works involve stories, however the relationship between each photo in a series is not clear which leaves imaginary spaces for audience. This photo is from the series UP IN SKY in 1997. It is a series of twenty-five monochrome and soft focus photogravures, the setting is a vast desert. This series is meant to reflect the lives of indigenious Australian children from their birth and their contineous struggles with Australian government policy.
