Southern Visions at Clifton School of Arts features the works of seven South Coast artists - indigenous Yuin artists Uncle Tom Brown, Pirate Myangah, Terrence Wright and Uncle Noel Butler and work by non-indigenous artists Rebecca Baker, Kylie Douglass and Margot Curtis.
Butler, from Ulladulla, is known for his sculptures and wood carvings, while the other Aboriginal artists, including Jervis Bay artist Myangah, Brown, and Wollongong artist Wright, use natural materials such as ochre, bone, timber and feathers in their contemporary artworks to draw the viewer in for a tactile experience.
Bulli artist Baker said she and Cudmirrah artist Douglass and Curtis, of Jervis Bay, shared an affinity with such materials in their explorations of the South Coast landscape and its inhabitants.
Featuring wood burnings, glass sculpture, photography, mosaics and paintings, the show was officially opened on October 17 by the Doonooch Dancers from Nowra.
The exhibition is open 10am-4pm on October 25 and 26 at the Clifton School of Arts, 332 Lawrence Hargrave Drive, Clifton.
