Nena Zanos and group | Ways of Seeing

 ‘Ways of Seeing: Miya/Significant Plants – Beginnings’ showcases works from five local, culturally diverse, female artists – Glynis Lee, Angelina Lewis, Juwayning Lorraine Williams, Linda Yarrowin, Nena Zanos - created during a printmaking project at Wagait Beach.


Delicately lined drypoints, vibrant collagraphs, ‘blueprint’ cyanotypes, colourful monotypes and atmospheric photogravure reflect each artist’s personal and/or cultural visual interpretation of their chosen local plants. The Emmiyengal and Larrakia First Nations artists communicate their deep knowledge and ties to country through accompanying stories.



A video documenting the plant-collecting phase of the project provides individual artistic, geographic, language and cultural context.

Botanical art with a difference.
