Seven female artists: Walbunja/Ngarigo Cheryl Davison-Overton, Mirabel Fitzgerald, Jennifer Hawkins, Julie Mia Holmes, Raewyn Lawrence, Amy Schleif and Jo Victoria, from the Eurobodalla region of New South Wales share their personal creative responses to the devastating Black Summer Fires of 2019/2020 and its aftermath through painting, printmaking, sculpture, glass and installation works– capturing elements of regeneration, hope, resilience, and collaborative healing, with a stark reminder of the fragility of our enviro-human co-existence and the urgency to enact our environmental responsibilities.
Viewers are invited to experience the region’s emergence from the ashscape – celebrate the surprising beauty of revival whilst simultaneously grappling with the reality of our personal and environmental vulnerabilities. Curated by Nicole Wallace.
