Jane Kennedy | Gallery Two
Opening 6pm Friday 1st of November 2019
Showing from the 1st Nov | 22nd Nov
This small scale exhibition explores our attachment to inanimate objects, from the extreme end of obsessive hoarding to sentimental attachments to objects that we hold dear.
Why do we find it difficult to throw away an old doll? It is just plastic after all. Is there a more tragic sight than a child's once loved toy found discarded.
We are caught between a world of new and exciting cheap toys that are loved for a moment and then discarded, and the obsession we have with hoarding objects that connect us to fading memories.
This exhibition attempts to compartmentalise and make sense of these attachments.

Step into the vibrant world of the Australian Top End with Colours of Home, an exhibition of predominantly pastel paintings that capture the striking beauty of the local landscape.
‘Ways of Seeing: Miya/Significant Plants – Beginnings’ showcases works from five culturally diverse, female artists – Glynis Lee, Angelina Lewis, Juwayning Lorraine Williams, Linda Yarrowin, Nena Zanos - created during a printmaking project at Wagait Beach. Artworks reflect each artist’s personal connection to chosen plants. Accompanying stories and video communicate cultural knowledge.
The viewer is exposed to obscurities of the universe including artwork, ‘Solar Flare’ depicting a solar explosion also, ‘Meteor Shower’ and ‘Supernova’. Energy and passion are radiating from the paintings, highlighting intensity. In contrast, ‘The Wormhole’ and ‘Galaxy’s Breath’ depict the timelessness and constancy of galaxies and the beyond.
Have you ever spent so long not talking to other people that when you finally did, your voice cracked? Have you ever been somewhere so remote that if you died, no-one would know and you might not be found for weeks - if ever?
