Thanks for all these links. I must explore Wesley Stacey’s extensive body of work in that thesis. I don’t really know it. It looks to be quite substantial and very diverse. I simply did not know his latter landscapes. Nor the latter books he produced in the 1980s. I will have to try and find them.
The landscapes at the Monash Gallery of Art made with the Art Panorama are very impressive. It is a pity they are not titled re location and are only thumbnails. I am guessing that they made with the 6x17cm format model .
