Landscape is our conduit for the spiritual, this has been illustrated across cultures and generations. By using encaustic, I am alternately layering, carving and scraping out an image. There is a revelation in the work as it progresses, and its final form. This process is a physical representation of searching those layers of memory. The resulting image is the vehicle in which the viewer resonates with their own epiphany of personal, binding memories”

LIZ PRIESTLEY
Origins and Destinations

Many cultures and societies through the centuries have looked to the natural environment for explanations for their existence, as well as their life’s journey, to its evidential conclusion.  This exhibition is an opportunity to give expression to my connection to the natural environment, on a smaller more personal scale.   As an artist I look to my immediate surroundings to find comfort and joy. It is in these moments that I am inspired to contemplate my own existence. What has brought me to this point, and where, therefore, will this path take me.  I choose to give expression to these sentiments, by creating a suite of imagined landscapes reflecting that experience. And in which hopefully the viewer will find their own inspiration. These are the culmination of many experienced vistas, overtime, in many different settings. All of which give explanation to the influence, of the natural environment in my life.

JESSICA MURTAGH
Afterimages of familiar tales

A series of glass amphoras drawing inspiration from ancient Athenian artefacts. My work explores themes of our mundane lives, how technology drives them and preoccupies us, how we spend our precious and fleeting time. It asks what will we leave behind when we are long gone?

Jessica’s arts practice leans heavily on illustration, using sandcarving and engraving techniques to create imagery and narratives on glass. Her work is predominantly in the form of vessels, which are both functional and sculptural, ranging from vibrant and dramatic to subdued. She draws inspiration from both the natural world and classical artefacts, contrasted with contemporary themes.

Jessica Murtagh is an Adelaide based early career artist working with blown glass. With a Master’s in Design (Contemporary Art) from the University of South Australia, her practice is currently based out of JamFactory Contemporary Craft and Design.

MELODY SURANYI
Ancient Rhythm

Artifacts are time capsules that unlock the secrets of the past, bridging the gap between past and present and inviting us to experience the lives of those who shaped history. ‘Ancient Rhythm’ revives the stories of the past by liberating relics from their glass encasements and museum confines, bringing them into the public sphere for all to enjoy. Each painting in this series finds its roots in a specific ancient vessel or artifact and draws inspiration from the patterns that dance across their surfaces. As a cohesive body of work, these pieces pulsate with a shared rhythm, celebrating our universal connection through art and expression.

First time the gallery has been completely empty since we opened...

Almost exactly four years ago, Rich and I laid down on this floor in celebration of our beautiful new gallery.

Today, we've cleared the space for @capocanberra to commandeer the space for their annual exhibition and Gala.

And we will take a much needed, forced break for ten days.

See you all back here for the opening of @lizpriestleyart @vintagemurtagh and @melodysuranyi on November 15!

The work aims to resonate not only with Canberra locals but seeks to capture the hearts of all Australians, inspiring hope in Nature’s resilience and beauty, especially during challenging times. This resilience further strengthens our love for the land, natural landscapes and connection to oneself.

Last week to see @rebeccarathart stunning exhibition
‘Neath the vast open sky’

“ Yarra’s gentle grace, its beauty ever true, In Canberra’s arms, it finds its place, ‘neath skies of clearest blue. And after rain, it shines the most, with colours bright and bold, A canvas vast and a poet’s boast, its story to be told.” Rath

The work aims to resonate not only with Canberra locals but seeks to capture the hearts of all Australians, inspiring hope in Nature’s resilience and beauty, especially during challenging times. This resilience further strengthens our love for the land, natural landscapes and connection to oneself.

The Earth A Scent So Sweet (Yarra)
Monotype and soft pastel on Fabriano

…the rain has kissed the Yarra land, and the clouds begin to part, a freshness fills the Canberra air, a calmness in my heart. The gum trees shake their thirsty leaves, the earth a scent so sweet..
