EXHIBITION
Rebecca Smyth | Gallery One
Opening 6pm Friday 1st of November 2019
Showing from the 1st Nov | 22nd Nov
Darwin's Rebecca Smyth was diagnosed with breast cancer late last year, after a string of topsy-turvy years.
A cartoon just appeared in her head that same day, and as she drew it later she realised that this could be a coping mechanism. This series just kept growing as Rebecca progressed through surgery, chemo, radiation and a long slow recovery.
When it was all just getting too depressing and bleak she saw an exhibition of Brian Bulley's whimsical artworks, and it inspired the Owl and the Pussycat to come out to play for a while, as a bit of relief.
Join us for the opening of Rebecca's exhibition and journey into the ups and downs of her diagnosis, treatment and subsequent recovery.

‘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?
