'Quiet Places' exhibition by Roslyn Hamdorf Exhibition
Art Exhibition10:00am - 5:00pm
'Quiet Places' exhibition by Roslyn Hamdorf at Black Stump Gallery Broome. "A professional lifetime spent in chaotic, cramped and noisy emergency departments leads her to seek out the quiet in our vast vistas. Landscapes to settle in to, that give you time to reflect and wash over you. Old places that on closer consideration, silently hold tension and energy in fine balance. I would like to acknowledge the spiritual relationship first nations people hold to this land. Their connections are deep, respectful and enduring, and I am grateful that they share this land with me. Pilbara, Kimberley, Flinders Ranges and South West Coast." EXHIBITION runs 19 June – 2 July.
