Place and Being @ M16 Artspace in Canberra


Exhibition runs: 2 – 13 September 2009

Place and Being
New work by Margaret Carlin and Avi Amesbury in ceramics and charcoal drawings. The exhibition, Place and Being, is the exploration of a physical manifestation of the emotions, knowledge and character of the artists working in response to landscape, either the natural environment or human (or inner) landscape. “To describe the landscape is to inscribe the character [of the artist].” Through the use of spontaneous and direct gestures, both in ceramic and mark making on paper, the spiritual essence of the landscape is revealed. The work is not only a representation, (of a particular physical location for example,) but is the presence as well.
For more info on the exhibition and the artists visit avicam website.
