In Now: Embodied Expressions, eight women artists offer works shaped by years of life, practice and attention. Their art holds the textures of experience while remaining vividly present. Each work invites us into a moment where seeing and making meet.
Barbara Murphy is exploring the aesthetic act of observation. She is a multidisciplinary artist whose work is processed over time, revealing poetic layers of the deeply felt experience of objects in space.
Erica Wagner’s mixed media artworks, inspired by visitations from a neighbour’s white rabbit, reveal her lifelong passion for storytelling and curiosity about personal narratives.
Jill Anderson’s practice involves observing and drawing in both urban and wilderness spaces, with her abstract work evolving into form, shape and colour stimulated by direct experiences of listening and deep joyful looking.
Libby Letcher continues her quest of sense making and art making as a way of thinking. Nature’s way of self organisation, and themes of process and emergence, guide her distinctive approach.
Using the human hand as a icon of generosity, creativity and reciprocity Lyn Pool explores the notion that ‘All Flourishing is Mutual’.
Informed by her work as historian and human rights advocate. Mary Sullivan employs layering, erasure and fragmentation to trace threads of power woven into human stories.
Through the lens of archaeology, Phillippa Croll works in abstract to reconstruct places, people and objects in the same way artefacts are recovered and put back together to find their true narrative.
Rosemarie Reber explores figures and landscapes shaped by experience, memory, and imagination. She uses paint to create expressive layered imagery that invites viewers to reflect on their inner worlds.
