A group exhibition focused on depictions of houses and other dwelling places, reflecting a diversity of physical structures – from lone houses surrounded by nature, to buildings in urban and suburban settings. The exhibition gives rise to thoughts of home as a social construct, idea or state of mind. Drawn from life, memory, imagination, or from sources such as films, books, newspapers and magazines, the artworks in the exhibition are bound to reveal a variety of human presences and traces of activity.

Artists:
Anna Henderson, Greg Hansell, Harley Manifold, Jacki Fewtrell Gobert, James Lyle, Kobie Bosch, Melissa Guest, N G Malla, Petra Reece, Scott Owen

“My love of landscape and the flora and fauna within are celebrated here in a variety of mediums. Large scale acrylic paintings, to intricate watercolour miniatures and wood engravings. This is a collection of experiences and media, exploring the inspiration and potential of the elements within my local Hawkesbury landscape and beyond”.

Sisters Irene Manion and Ellen King work in different media interpreting their common subject – birds, in unique ways. Ellen King pushes our understanding of felting in excitng directions in her wearable jackets and shawls, while Irene works 2-dimensionally both in watercolour and in fibre.

Wendi’s new exhibition celebrates her deep love for fauna – and nature in general – portraying intimate connections with all lifeforms she encounters. Her art seeks to inspire hope and joy while exploring the intricate relationship between humans and the environment. By sharing personal experiences, like nurturing a childhood love for intelligent birds like Magpies, Wendi’s work reflects themes of interconnectedness and reverence for the natural world.

Our first exhibition for the year celebrates the unique and dynamic tapa (bark cloth) art movement of the Ömie people of Papua New Guinea. Each piece is painted on the base tapa in many different coloured organic dyes made from leaves, seeds, bark, roots, sap and fruit, that are mixed with water and/or ash. They are iconographic and diverse, enlivening and transformative – simply exquisite.

Art has the wonderful ability to bring joy, inspiration, and a sense of playfulness into our lives. Whether you’re creating art or experiencing it, the process should be enjoyable and fulfilling.

This exhibition showcases a breathtaking array of contemporary landscape works. Sergio’s popular and expressive style highlights the great deal of creative freedom and experimentation he exposes in his colourful paintings. In his recent exploration of the Kimberley, he presents new paintings that are bold and vibrant with rich colour, creating a unique and expressive interpretation of the natural world he experienced around this north Australian region.

We are thrilled to be presenting this much anticipated solo show by artist and musician Rachel Hannan. The exhibition will be her first here since moving further west to the beautiful countryside around the Capertee Valley. Music and art are inseparable for Rachel. “In the landscape and in my paintings, I hear melodies in the unpredictability of forms, colour and movement. I feel the rhythms of the repetition and patterns in the natural architecture and the never ending abundance of different flora, water, clouds and surfaces. I bring the visual into my improvising when I sing, and similarly the music flows through my brush when I apply my marks”.
