29 October – 10 December 2017
This exhibition is the artist’s exploration of industrial structures in the landscape. Living in the rural Australian landscape, Leora says she is often struck by the curious structures that punctuate the sparse open vistas and vast horizons. She said questions arise about what functions these constructions perform. How are they designed? How and why are they built? What is their function? Industrial Relations is a series of paintings that explore the purpose and function of these structures.
In 1963 in southern USA, four you when the church they were in was Nina Simone wrote the song Four they may have become.
Four Women (I do belong) Double and is inspired by that 1966 song of the perception of black women a and strength.

Come and join in the festivities to be in the running for over $2000 worth of prizes at the inaugural Lismore River Festival and Carp Muster at Riverside Park. While carp are considered a pest, it is also the most eaten protein around the world. Did you know that locally caught carp are sold at the Sydney Fish Market? This event will change your views on carp and we are encouraging a humane catch and kill approach using an ice slurry. Our Love Food Hate Waste chef Danial Lange will show you just how delicious carp can be with free carp recipe demomnstrations and tastings. Festival events and activities include fishing from the riverbank (BYO fishing gear), carp weigh-ins with prizes, carp filleting and cooking demonstrations and tastings, a tree planting, catchment health education and games, flood awareness, live music and talks from carp and river health experts. Everyone is invited to come along, fishers and non-fishers alike, with plenty for everyone including the littlies with free children’s activities.

“A steering committee has been established to raise the funds – it may take some time, but we believe this would be an amazing acquisition and addition to a permanent collection that already holds more than 1000 pieces of fine art,” Brett said. “We will look outside the region and to generous donors as well as explore what grant funding we could apply for in order to raise the funds. It would be so appropriate to have The Hannah Cabinet in our permanent collection and it would also be a major drawcard to attract visitors. “Geoff is so humble about his work, yet he is a true craftsman of the most extraordinary talent. We should celebrate that we have this renowned global artist in our midst and make a place for The Hannah Cabinet to be permanently on show in his hometown.” People interested in being involved in the campaign should phone the gallery on 6622 2209 or email brett.adlington@lismore.nsw.gov.au.
