Sally Brown | Fragility and Resilience | Maroochydore Library Artspace

Caloundra Regional Gallery in collaboration with Sunshine Coast Libraries proudly presents the next exhibition for the Maroochydore Library Artspace.

Fragility and Resilience

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

The work in this exhibition began as a response to the catastrophic Australian bushfires in 2019-2020. Sally Brown reflected on the stories of fragility and resilience that emerged at the time and began researching and drawing endangered plants and animals. Flora, fauna, and sensory memories are intertwined in often unexpected ways in Sally's work. In 2021, she set up Ozflorana® to promote her work and raise awareness of endangered Australian flora and fauna. Focusing on the resilience of nature through her art and design helps Sally face the ongoing complexities of life as a person with disabilities.

This series of digital prints captures the patterns of Australian nature and celebrates Sally’s unique and colourful interpretation of it.

The opening event will be held on Thursday 24 July at 10am. Entry is free and all are welcome. Registration is essential.
