Unveiling of Epiphany of Paint & From Where I Begin exhibitions

opening

Sun 6 Oct @ 2.00pm | Burrinja Gallery, Burrinja

Join us for the official opening of these two exhibitions on Sunday 6 October, from 2pm.

Epiphany of Paint - William Holt | Gallery 01

For painter William Holt, abstraction derives from a living engagement with the materials collected, communicated, shaped and reformed, repurposed and renewed.

Holt is the recent Dandenong Ranges Open Studios exhibition Swinburne University Visual Arts Innovation Award winner.

From Where I Begin - Nikki Willson | Galleries 02 & 03

This video installation examines the connections and ruptures we make while living between the two realities of our internal and external worlds. As an artist with a disability, Nikki's experience of reconciling this inherent disconnect can be a difficult and painful one.

With these works she uses the body as a tool to make these struggles visible. Her work is without context and is ambiguous so as to invite the viewer to bring their own narrative to the work and to connect with the universal bodily experience of the audience and the path that we all walk.
