A mother-son exhibition, A Home Among the Gum Trees celebrates the flow of time, the Australian landscape and the universal feeling of nostalgia for the place we call home. Comprised of a series of two-dimensional works along with a filmic animation experience, the exhibition explores generational perspectives ensconced in the visual language of memory.
Carrying two perspectives, and presenting a bonded conversation between works, this time-capsule exhibition covers the feelings, emotions and expressions related to the fleeting nature of childhood and the ensuing presence of parenthood, nurtured in a home set amongst the creative arts in the Perth hills.
