These paintings speak of memories, identity, Country, and enduring cultural connections, inviting us to see water not simply as landscape but as a living repository of stories and knowledge.

Oct 24 to Nov 15 Drawn to the Desert by Jill Anderson and Gidja Walker OAM featuring new paintings and works on paper. The artists are longtime friends and for decades have taken to the road, camping and making art. This collection of works is from their travels to Mutawintji National Park on the traditional lands of the Pantjikali, Wanyuparku, Wilyakali, and Malyangapa peoples. Anderson’s semiabstract compositions are place responsive with inscribed patterns, textures, and sounds. Walker is a renowned ecologist, and her deep knowledge of living systems is present in the detail and interrelationships depicted in her imagery. Together these artists’ works form a conversation over time, encapsulating layers of place, memory, ecologies, and friendship.

To Nov 1 Aural Transferences by Chelle Destefano – for the artist, sound is not just a landscape for hearing. Through time, space, and memory, the Deaf artist visually represents her experience of sound before she lost her hearing completely at age nine. Her drawings express the artist’s personal perspective, while in her videos, Destefano communicates through physical performance, and Auslan, to compel all viewers to meet her where she is at her most authentic expression.
