Exhibition dates: 4 - 22 December 2024

An exhibition of paintings and monoprints by Rena Czaplinska-Archer.

The Australian desert confronts us all with its silent presence. Yet it also draws us in.  As we let go of stories of who we are, what we know and what to expect we gradually enter into a silent conversation with the vast horizons and intimate spaces.  Desert becomes our teacher.

After years of running Time for Drawing workshops at Riversdale and internationally, Rena ventured into Australian desert where Idris Murphy introduced her to Fowlers Gap.

Forever grateful she has been returning there every year to keep exploring and to run Desert Calling Art Camps, walk the quartz ridges, paint and dream in the dry riverbeds, where changing colours, moving shadows and the sounds of birdsong, wind and crunchy stones grow into vibrating with life symphony, healing the senses and nourishing the heart. This exhibition is inspired by desert songs.
