This Autumn, the Artists of the Round Yard invite you to celebrate the essence of life, water.
Browse Water – Works, a unique exhibition of art pieces inspired by water, brought to life using various mediums including clay, painting, jewellery, puppetry and sculpture.
Hear from the artists:
- ”Water in the environment inspires, creating models of ponds, creeks and seaside cliffs” – Robyn Rumpf
- ”Ponds and dams are eyes to the skies, reflecting clouds, patterns of wind and rain. A harmonious ecosystem of plants, frogs, insects and migratory birds, fish and the microorganisms within keep the water fresh and alive” -Toni Warburton
- ”Inspired by its life force, I see clouds and raindrops, fish and I see boats lost on a wild sea” – Tracy Hopkirk
- ”Water, life on the edge of hope and horror. Watching rivers rise and fall, will the water be kind or cruel?” – Sue Wallace
- ”My art celebrates the vital energy of water that envelops me in everyday life, the essential joy and invigorating essence that water brings to our existence” – Sonja Millis
- ”Water moving over rock is fundamental in the creation of all landscape. A force that can be infinitesimal, ponderous or explosive” – Brock Sykes
This exhibition is proudly presented by the Artists of the Round Yard, a group of painters, sculptors, printmakers, photographers, and jewellery makers, based at Retford Park, Bowral, former estate of the late James Fairfax.
