What is a place beyond a point on a map? Our physical environment has long been a focus for artists and a subject rich in exploration and interpretation. Somewhere here represents a snapshot of the ways artists in nipaluna/Hobart respond to place through different mediums, including painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture and textiles.

KNIT YOUR BITS MORE THAN 84 FEMALE ARTISTS FROM AROUND LUTRUWITA / TASMANIA Knit Your Bits is a Women’s Health Tasmania project which began with a series of workshops inviting women to express their bodies through textile craft. Workshop participants have knitted, sewed, felted, embroidered and woven different body parts, using art and humour to explore ideas around their own or women’s health generally.

THE RUST REMEMBERS JANET FENTON Rust holds memories of the past and disintegrates into the future. This body of work reflects on time, place, memory, decay and regeneration. Janet Fenton explores documented history and legend, the shape of the present, and her personal response to a lifelong connection with Melaleuca in Southwest Tasmania. There, rusting mining machinery is gradually merging into the present living landscape.

In this body of work, patina from this rust has been collaged into the artist’s mixed media images.

NICHOLAS HOPWOOD

“This exhibition represents a tipping point in my life, and although thematically diverse, for me these paintings will always be a reminder of how I struggled with the fears of letting go of one life, to ultimately emerge stronger and happier into another” – Nicholas Hopwood.

12 - 22 JULY
