Bett Gallery presents Kate McKenzie Lewis’s debut solo exhibition, Ember. This series examines bushfire-affected landscapes, capturing moments between destruction and renewal. The works reflect the dual nature of fire, balancing loss and transformation while celebrating nature’s resilience and ability to recover.

Drawing on experience, observation, and research, Lewis weaves memories of smoke-filled skies, glowing horizons, and fire-impacted terrain with broader environmental themes, exploring how we perceive, remember, and remain connected to place.
