Green is the colour
of new life |
Paintings
My favourite places remain
the Australian Outback and
coast. However, recently I
have been drawn to the
colour green because it
represents new life. I use
photographs as inspiration
for my paintings, in which I
interpret the experiences
using multiple layers of
transparent acrylic paint on
untreated canvas to depict
the colours and shapes of
nature.

KAREN HOLLAND
STUDIO
Transition. Karen
Holland | Painting
Karen’s inspiration
comes from the bush, gardens
and the objects around her
home. The abstract shapes
which appear everywhere in
nature excite her, as does
the light and atmosphere
created by weather as well
as colour. Her subject
matter can be quite random
– at present she is
embracing “still life” and
“transitioning”
into including birds.

Mixed media
Kathy Landvogt probes
everyday human experiences
and relationships through
personal story-telling and
metaphor, informed by
feminist understandings.
While collage, painting and
drawing dominate her earlier
work, current investigations
include three-dimensional
objects and a longstanding

itself carries part of the
meaning.

system’s inherent logic

systems develop through the
relationships between
materials, movement, time

Nothing New Ben
Blacket |
Photography
‘Nothing New’ is
an exhibition of photographs
that allude to Ben’s
misgivings about the future.
While out photographing his
surroundings, Ben’s thoughts
are plagued by the looming
climate crisis and other
uncertainties. The remnants
of the gold rush, and a
devastated landscape that
still bears the scars of
past atrocities, are stark
reminders of the
contributing factors that
led us here. But these
photographs are not
allegories of such concerns.
They are his wistful
attempts to slow the passage
of time.
