Figuring Landscapes: SurroundingsLandscape is a theme through which artists have tackled issues of representation, nation and identity in both Australia and the United Kingdom. This collection of work grew from the political and cultural history of the two countries, and their continuing close relationship.
In this session, the ambience of place resonates from the broad scope of the horizon to the intimacy of the closely observed. "Out there", the figure in the landscape is a rare sight, its image constructed from memory, materials to hand or the abstract sensation of movement.
Featuring work by Sofia Dahlgren, Steven Ball, Jo Millett and John Conomos.
Devised and curated by Catherine Elwes and Steven Ball with Australian curators Pat Hoffie and Danni Zuvela.
