SIGHTED 

The exhibition ‘Sighted’ displays the artwork of five artists who all live in the Kyogle area and use different media to express their ideas. 

Jenny Kitchener is a printmaker, Rodney Brown is a painter, Deborah Brown is a mixed media artist, Rebecca Tapscott works with various media and Denis Hopking is a ceramicist. 

An appreciation and reverence for the beauty and complexity of the natural world unite the artworks in this exhibition. Much of the work will be inspired by the aesthetics of the local landscape and the beauty of a moment in time. 

Imagery includes the minutiae of the small and often overlooked spaces of the landscape in which plants, birds and insects can be found. Also featured are images which feature the grandeur of the large vista. Both micro and macro works will tempt the viewer to contemplate the beauty and vulnerability of our natural world. 

Other works acknowledge the concern many of us feel for the future of the natural world and the long term consequences of continued human impact on the environment.
