Glass artist Holly Grace continues to follow her observations of the natural world within her blown glass forms. This exhibition is inspired by a recent residency at the National Portrait Gallery and Gudgenby Ready-Cut Cottage in the Namadgi National Park, as well as recent explorations of fire regenerated areas at Northern Kosciuszko National Park.

“I see that my track has many small interceptions, softly marked animal trails formed by swamp wallabies, wombats and eastern grey kangaroos”, says the artist. “Nature’s pathways leading into a vast landscape both empty and full. Empty of life’s everyday distractions of a built environment and modern-day technology but full of space to breath and natures many wonders. So with trepidation and joy I step off track and into the unknown.”

Opening Event: Thursday 19 October, from 5.30pm.
