EXHIBITION
Peter Percy | Gallery One
Opening 6pm Friday 13th of November 2020
Showing from the 13th November | 28th November

Peter doesn't look at a pile of rubbish or scrap materials as the average person would. He sees shapes and parts of things that stir the imagination, wondering what those now unwanted pieces of treasure achieved in their lifetime.
Collecting and blending discarded “things” to resurrect them, Peter encourages the viewer to stop and engage in discussion about the makeup of the piece, and search for the familiar.

‘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.
