When Observations Become Form | Lee Salomone
5th May - 28th May 2022
[dates extended]
When observations become form draws upon what journalist Stan Grant refers to as the three founding realities that comprise Australia: First Nation People, the British tradition, and the richness of migration. A fourth thread evolved during the exploration of the works - the Australian landscape itself.
