UPCOMING EXHIBITION
Sarah Rowlands, Wendy Barbour-Clarke
April: 3rd April–26th April: Sarah Rowlands and Wendy Barbour-Clarke, Cycles of Return.
Two local artists respond to the local environment and work with awareness of the environmental footprint of their practice, through choice of subject, materials and process. Rowlands explores themes of impermanence with her lumens, which degrade over time and Barbour-Clarke makes her own biodegradable plastics for her wall mounted cyanotypes. Rowland’s lumens were created on site, using botanicals from the Weir and lace from the Cottage’s history room. Barbour -Clarke has repurposed parts of the Governor’s Bay jetty in her sculptural work.
