Earth encompasses terrain, flora, fauna, geology and climate. It is a cosmological concept, one that reaches to the sky and deep beneath the ground. For First Nations people, the earth guides and informs culture.
The Earth has its rhythms—albeit irregular and at times volatile—as do the myriad visual productions made in response to this dynamic restlessness. Artistic interpretations of our landscapes have arguably been the most persistent form of artmaking in Australia.
You'll be captivated by these two exhibitions, amongst the spacious and breathtaking surrounds of TarraWarra, on Wurundjeri Country.
'Rhythms of the Earth' includes works by Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, Angelina Pwerle, Judy Watson, Fred Williams, John Olsen, Mandy Martin, Brett Whiteley, Arthur Boyd, Godfrey Miller, Russell Drysdale, Robert Juniper and Jeffrey Smart.
