River Return, Altenburg and Co.
10 to 31 March 2019
The exhibition is one of the many events forming part of the 2019 Bi-Annual Braidwood Two Fires Festival of Arts and Activism.
The Shoalhaven river serves the rural districts and is the main water supply for Braidwood
Township. It also forms part of the greater Sydney water catchment. Water, the lifeblood for all living beings has come sharply into focus during the current drought, extreme weather events and changing climate patterns. This is a group show by locally-based artists who have been working together en plein air on the Shoalhaven River and surrounds for the previous 12 months.
Exhibitors
Olivia Bernardoff, Victoria Clutterbuck, Marianne Courtenay, Natalie Densley, Jack Featherstone, Cecile Galiazzo, Fran Ifould, Harriet Searcy, Jenny Tozer
Marianne’s work
The Shoalhaven River and its surrounds have been subjects for my work ever since moving to the Braidwood area in 2000. Stressed by extended drought and the demands on it as a key source of water for the greater Sydney area it is still nonetheless a restorative source of delight and inspiration. Sketching and painting on the Shoalhaven, whatever its moods and condition, remains for me a perfect way to spend a day.
