ABOVE & BELOW 27 MARCH - 15 JULY The Centre Beaudesert Artists Mary Elizabeth Barron and Therese FlynnClarke reflect on our environment and place from ground level and aerial viewpoints through their exhibitions Under Foot and Patterns of my Days (Rights of Nature). Under Foot by Mary Elizabeth Barron The beauty in the often less appreciated and noticed natural wonders beneath our feet has inspired this body of work, which draws attention to the intricacies of natural debris. The colour, shape and textural qualities of leaves in their dying stages, fallen bark and twigs are complex and intriguing. These elements are often either un-noticed or considered green waste. Shrines to Nature and Vessels of Nature These sculptural containers celebrate the diversity of colours and textures and the natural plant materials from which they are made. Patterns of my Days (Rights of Nature) by Therese Flynn-Clarke Therese’s art practice has long held a deep connection to place. The opportunity to connect visually and viscerally to many places in remote and regional Queensland has inspired the Patterns of my Days component within this exhibition.
