Through ceramics, drawing, painting and sculpture, Janet DeBoos and Wendy Teakel, examine themes of change and transformation and explore the premise of ‘getting lost’ as an approach to creative practice. In 2020, the artists retreated to The Brindabellas where they discovered that their sense of home, although not geographically fixed – is somehow inescapable. Teakel focused on containment – farm fencing, demarcation, holding paddocks and barbed wire while DeBoos looked at native flora and how it can invade – and define – our space through decorative art tropes.
