Episode 24

Join the team as they discuss Michael Riley: Cloud, an exhibition currently on display at the Western Plains Cultural Centre. Michael Riley (1960 - 2004) was born and raised in Dubbo, going on to become one of Australia’s most successful and highly respected contemporary artists. Cloud produced in 2000 is his best known and much-loved photographic series. An endless blue sky becomes the backdrop for objects relating to Aboriginal life and culture. Influenced by the artist’s early years in his hometown, the works are a meditation on belief, spirituality, childhood and memory.
