Earth Canvas, an exhibition featuring JANET LAURENCE, is now open at Albury City Library Museum.
This exhibition displays works by leading contemporary artists, developed in response to regenerative farming properties situated between the Murray and Murrumbidgee rivers in southern NSW.
Inspired by their immersive contact with both the farmer and the landscape, the artists reveal a mutual creativity, appreciation and understanding of the natural forces that sustain us.
Janet says of the work she has created for the project:
“My work has been evolving slowly, moving between a performative project held onsite at Yabtree West, and a series of exhibition works that trace the complex symbiotic processes that are being nurtured by Rebecca on the farm. The great trees along the river have taken root in my memory and remain the dominant theme throughout the work. These trees for me express hope and habitat.”
The exhibition was officially launched by Patrice Newell, Phillip Adams and Gill Sanbrook, together with the exhibition curator and some of the artists and farmers involved in the project. Watch the virtual launch here.
