EXHIBITION ~

Check out the works by artist Tamara Lawry in her exhibition: Body and Soil, now on display in or gallery space.

Drawing upon juxtapositions of the forms of trees to those of aging women’s bodies, Body and Soil explores this relationship and creates a space where the feminine and the natural are irrevocably connected.

On exhibition until 4 October.

This is a HomeGround exhibition, produced by the WPCC and supported by Orana Arts. HomeGround is sponsored by Bruce and Wendy Gray.
