“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.

The annual mini print sale and exhibition closed on the 25th of June and was deemed by all to be a great success. Although the sale of 160 prints was a little less than last year it was good for the location and shows that people will travel “over the bridge” if the incentive is right. A good number of sales went to people who had purchased work at last years exhibition and shows that our member’s work is already developing a following. If you haven’t yet done so you might like to look at the images of work in the gallery.
The co-ordinator of the council operated gallery also remarked on the number of council staff who visited (many for the first time) and stayed to purchase work. All of this augers well for our move to Clarence later in the year.
Our next exhibition will be the annual members exhibition at the Salamanca Arts Centre’s Sidesapce gallery in late November.
