Since her start in the photography field, Laing has explored conceptual photography, with most of her works being a part of a series in able to convey her concepts.[3] Background InformationEducation and trainingOriginally trained as a painter, from 1976 to 1979 Laing completed a Diploma of Art Education at the Brisbane College of Advanced Education in Queensland. She then went on to get her Diploma of Art in 1982 from the University of Tasmania in Hobart. Eight years later, from 1990 to 1991, Laing gained a Post Graduate Diploma from the Sydney College of the Arts in Sydney. And then, from 1992 to 1996 she completed a Master of Fine Arts in Honours Class 1, from the College of Fine Arts, New South Wales.[4] Early careerLaing started using photography as reference material and wasn't until she gained a job as an exhibition consultant in 1988, for the Australian Bicentennial Exhibition proved a step forward for Laing and her career. By editing work from some of the top photographers from around the country and being able see how they decided to represent the country. In 2000 Laing had her real breakthrough with the series Flight research.[5] Development of photographic practiceWell known artworksSome of Laing's most noteworthy series' include the Bulletproof glass and the Groundspeed series. Bulletproof glass is a series of images shot on location in the Blue Mountains, featuring women dressed in vintage wedding dresses with gunshot wounds to the chest whilst 'floating' in the sky. Some specific negative ideas that fed into this series include the unsuccessful Republican referendum in Australia, and the blatant refusal by the Government to apologise to the Aboriginal peoples of Australia.[6]The series Groundspeed is a mix between an installation piece and photography, Laing visited the eucalyptus forests in South Australia and laid down carpet on the forest floor. With assistance laing was able to produce multiple landscape images of the scene.[7] Impact of significant historical eventsMuch of Laing's work is influenced by issues at the time, which becomes apparent in particular photographic series. Such influences include the unsuccessful Republican referendum in Australia, and the blatant refusal by the Government to apologise to the Aboriginal peoples of Australia, which influenced her Groundspeed series.[8] The effect that natural disasters had on the Australian landscape and the lives of those they affected, influenced Laing to explore the ideas related to this through documentary photography. The series that arose from this exploration was titled one dozen unnatural disasters in the Australian landscape.[9] ConceptsA vast majority of Laing's artworks relate strongly to cultural and historical places throughout Australia. With staged sceneries, Laing involves the politics of particular locations as well as elements of current and modern culture.[10] Laing became interested in flight in 1994, when she moved to a studio in Leichardt, Sydney which was directly under the flight path. her growing annoyance with the sounds from planes passing overhead fueled her interest in the ideas of air travel, which in turn, was the inspiration for her Flight Research series.[11] Throughout her photography career, and the multiple series she produced, much of the concepts she explored surrounded landscape photography, both the cultural and historical aspects of this. Photographic techniquesLaing never digitally manipulated any of her images, which is what makes the subject matter in some of her images so surreal. An example of this is her series Flight research where the figure seems to be floating in the air, which most would assume was digitally manipulated. Laing uses the method of installation for many of her artworks, an example of this is the series Groundspeed in which she laid down industrially produced carpet onto a forest floor and then photographed it. Awards and honoursOver the span of her career, Laing has accomplished many things and has won multiple awards as well as research grants. Some of the awards and grants she has gained include:[12]
