“Field of Plenty” is the title of Damon’s superb exhibition currently showing at the Fine Arts Gallery in Sandy Bay. I doubt it will be up long, so if you can get there on Monday you will be pleased to have made it as it is a truly superb exhibition. The volume of the work is daunting with three walls covered in collagraph prints - stretching from floor to ceiling. The atmosphere is quite serene but with plenty of mystery and intensity that can be responded to in various ways - perhps according to your mood.

Fabulous show, and hopefully we will have more of his work from the exhibition to show soon! Damon is currently completing his masters degree at the University of Tasmania.
