Karen Charlton: Out
‘Most pieces began as a journey on foot, often following a creek up or down the hilly landscape of Mt Martha, trying to capture that sense of movement in the mark making. This process of looking, of moving, reframes the familiar (the urban, what we think we know about Australian flora) and unearths what is unknown (infinite). Each artwork is part of a process of renewal, of reveling in awe at the natural world’s ability to regenerate season after season.’ – Karen Charlton

Ashley Frost: Seacoast
Ashley Frost draws inspiration from the unique topography of the Illawarra escarpment that hugs the coastline from Waterfall to Kiama. He works directly from the field, en plein air, anywhere from an escarpment palm forest five hundred metres above sea level to a headland coal seam that juts out directly to the turbulent sea. He has an obsessive concern with capturing the light and essence of place through paint, often using an impasto method to shape the nuances of coastal light.
