Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre’s May to June exhibition period again offers a smorgasbord of artworks in four separate shows.
Mother and daughter Ilana Cowan and Sara Yael come together to present an eclectic gathering of paintings, indigo textiles, and furnishings in our front galleries.
Their In Bloom exhibition is inspired by the Japanese concept of Oubaitori; the idea that people, like flowers, bloom in their own time.
Robert Faulkner’s exhibition From Vietnam to Life Transitions will be showing in the Butterbox gallery, charting a life’s journey.
He depicts the very real repercussions of service to my country: the nightmares, despair, humour, self-assessment and then eventual redemption. He hopes the viewer perhaps recognises the madness and futility of war, will find much to reflect on, and comprehend the price to be paid.
In our upstairs gallery Christian Dunham and Jodie Allen’s collaborative exhibition Sentience seeks to unravel the artistic nuances surrounding the perception of sentience, with a specific focus on the human eyes as a symbolic gateway to understanding consciousness.
This profound concept is explored through large portraits in charcoal.
