Ms Welch travelled to Albury in April this year to produce the artwork for her exhibition titled: "Eastern Interiors: explorations of from Bathurst to Albury".
"I was looking for a significant location to represent the history of the area," she said.
"After a week of scouting possible locations I came across Table Top Mountain.
"Being a substantial landmark in the region it was the perfect place for me to make work."
Ms Welch spent four days on location and installed a large antique mirror to carry out a series of photo shoots.
"The photograph selected captures perfectly the dramatic light that reflects and illuminates from the terrain at dawn," she said.
MAMA is the third of four legs of the exhibition which has included two galleries in Sydney before winding up in Ms Welch's hometown of Bathurst next year.
The MAMA exhibition will run to December 13.
Ms Welch was the subject of an artist in conversation event held at MAMA on Thursday evening in the Maurice Chick and Sandra MacLeod-Miller Gallery.
For artists, art lovers, collectors and students of art, MAMA will be hosting a number of opportunities to meet and hear from artists featured in our exhibitions.
Ms Welch touched on the development processes behind her latest works which showcase a body of work that explores the vastness and connections between regional Australia.
Meanwhile, Polish-Australian poet Kylie Supski will perform at MAMA on November 19 as part of a free series of gigs on Thursdays.
The poet's inspiration comes from her personal experiences and all aspects of life.
MAMA director Jacqui Hemsley said an evening with Kylie Supski would be thought-provoking and not for the faint-hearted.
"This event is strictly for over 18s," she said.
"Kylie strongly believes that no one, not anyone has a right to tell us who we should be and how we should live our own life."
She is a regular performer around Melbourne and uses art to speak out about global economic and political inequality.
