Observational Correspondence showcases the work of regional artists Lisa Clarke and Ben Tupas over their five-year collaboration. This exhibition highlights a selection of 50 postcards sent between the two during the span of their project that offer a unique snapshot of contemporary Australia.
In a digital world where analogue communication and the postal service are slowly fading into obsolescence, their work uses the miniature canvas of the postcard to give glimpses of humour, pathos, and fleeting beauty inspired by the human condition.
Observational Correspondence is a meditation on connection, friendship, and a strong case for slowing down to be more present in life.
Inspired by the colours of nature, artist Kerry Harvey captures moments in time when the artist’s breath was literally taken away by the colours, changes of light and shade and the reflections of light and colour on bodies of water, be it the ocean, rivers, dams or lakes. The exhibition seeks to provide inspiration and appreciation for the natural beauty of our surroundings and asks the viewer to slow down and find beauty in the everyday.
