Gallery 76, 76 Queen Street, Concorde West, NSW

That Which is Around Us presents a diverse array of Australian flora, organisms and coastal habitats that surround us but are often unvisited, unseen and unexplored. Layers of stitched thread and fabric are used to portray selected native bushland, arid flora, lichen, soft corals and seaweed.

Irene Koroluk is a visual artist based in Taroona, Tasmania. With her practice rooted in a profound connection with the natural environment, her work seeks to encapsulate and unveil the sense of wonderment and beauty inherent in wild and remnant habitats. This activity was supported by Arts Tasmania. Attend free opening event: Saturday 3 May 4pm- RSVP here.

HABITAT

23 May – 6 July
Belconnen Arts Centre , 118 Emu Bank, Belconnen ACT

Gallery Hours: Tuesday – Sunday, 10am – 4pm 

Printmakers from throughout Australia have been invited to respond to the theme of what HABITAT means to them.

HABITAT: being the place or environment where we as humans, plants, or animals naturally are located or have found ourselves residing in.

Explore the beauty of these precious eco systems, suburban, industrial, and other built landscapes. Where are there points of intersection, separation, and union? We have been purposefully open in our explanation of the theme, so artists have had enormous freedom to drive their own imaginative interpretation.

All finalist works are eligible for selection in the $500 People’s Choice Award.
