LOVE WHERE WE LIVE, WORK AND PLAY 

Join us as we open our newest group exhibition that explores regional Australia. From living on the coast or in the hinterland, travelling or working remotely, regional Australia has a lot to offer.  Each of our artists has developed new work that captures the essence of their region.

Do you feel it?  Can you smell it?  The fresh but earthy, damp scents of wood and moss when walking through an ancient Gondwana sub-tropical rainforest can create feelings of peace and tranquillity.  In the area in which I live, we are fortunate to have a choice of these rainforests to explore – Binna Burra, O’Reillys, Springbrook, Purlingbrook, Nightcap, Natural Bridge and many smaller protected areas.  

My painting is set in one of these beautiful rainforests, cooled by the small rapid creek running through it.  I have also added a kingfisher, which is one of Australia’s most beautiful birds.  Cloaked in stunning green, blue, turquoise and orange plumage, some kingfishers were once in danger of being hunted to extinction for their feathers.

 Kingfishers live all over Australia and we have 10 native species, including the kookaburra, which is the largest.

My painting is inspired by driving through Byrrill Creek and the Mebbin National Park, which is close to my home.  The park is sub-tropical rainforest with ancient fig trees.  I love the beautiful walking stick palms and have placed some of these in my painting.  Also, I have been inspired by an awesome White Fig I saw at Crystal Creek.  The white fig is of the strangler fig species, and one of my favourite trees.  

The Regent Bowerbird (Sericulus chrysocephalus) is incredibly beautiful and intelligent and is found throughout the rainforests and leafy coasts of eastern Australia, all the way up in central Queensland, and down into New South Wales.  They display striking sexual dimorphism – the males, as seen above, are covered in silky black plumage, with glossy golden feathers on the ends of their wings, and pouring down over their heads like a thick, molten crown. The females, of course, are a dull, speckly olive colour.

Hecate is not a character her ally associated with a hero’s journey but in this case it feels somehow heroic to have sent her back into the fire in search for treasure.

I’m happy, relieved and in awe of this process of ceramic art as there is never any certainty of what will happen.
