Two unique exhibitions are set to turn heads at the Pomona Railway Station Art Gallery during March.
In the Banana Shed, a photographic exhibition ’Celebration of Women’ by artists Alison Taylor and Debbie Dodd will be on show from 27 February to 7 April.
Just ahead of International Women’s Day on March 8, Alison Taylor and Debbie Dodd – founders of the LensArt collective – pay tribute to women across the world celebrating their stories through photographic art.
Combining photo realism, social documentary, and artistic effects this exhibition highlights the varied circumstances and experiences of women around the world.
The exhibition showcases character studies, women at work and play, and in a variety of roles. The images tell stories of our similarities and our differences and yet, looking at these women, we share common emotions; sadness, joy, a mother’s love, embarrassment and pride.
This exhibition, in celebrating the women of our world, highlights the many things that are the same the world over. LensArt’s stories remind us that we are one people, with just one world and a shared future.
A solo exhibition by Tia Carrigan called ’Making My Marks’ will also be on show In the Carriage at the gallery.
‘Making My Marks’ is a celebration of the diverse creative paths that have led the artist here today. From fashion and textiles, to graphic design, to floristry and to painting.
Tia Carrigan’s work is contemporary, with an emphasis on abstract patterns, painted with an embodiment of movement and freedom.
A merging and expression of the bird life and flowers that feature in Tia’s florist and art studio gallery in Pomona, This Bird.
The paintings are encased in the screen printing frames that she used to design textile prints in her previous business in fashion and feature adornment stemming from her ‘maker’ origins.
This exhibition is all about celebrating both Tia’s past and her present.
The official opening is 12pm, 6 March and continues through to the end of March.
