BEACH, BUSH & BATTLERS:
PHOTOGRAPHS BY JEFF CARTER
Margaret Carnegie Gallery
15 March – 18 May

Jeff Carter (1928-2010) was a remarkable storyteller. For over 60 years he travelled Australia, using photography to celebrate the lives of ‘ordinary’ people at work and play, thereby producing one of this country’s most historically significant photographic archives. Beach, Bush & Battlers features images from the State Library, selected from Carter’s extraordinary collection of over 50,000 images of Australian life spanning 1944 to 2010.

LIENG LAY: STATE OF MIND
Links Gallery
19 April – 8 June
                                                         
State of Mind explores the complex relationship between mind and body, thought and emotion, illness and well being. It draws on a personal journey through pain, loss and grief. The works include a combination of figurative drawings, paintings, and automatic writings using ink, charcoal and mixed media onto differing surfaces such as paper, canvas and reclaimed perspex. Informed by her background as a physiotherapist, Lieng Lay’s expressive works of the figure capture the physicality of the human form.
