Native Anew
Kylie Elkington
Colville Gallery 22 November - 12 December 2022
An interest in creating a ‘personal geography’ of landscape painting, a slow contemplation of place
and an invitation to meditate on beauty, nature and the Australian landscape are central to my
undertakings.
This exhibition celebrates native flora, the layering of sensations and knowledge about a place, the
role of the species of natives and others in that place, and in turn, the ways in which all elements of
that environment are interconnected. Transparent glazes, applied over time, record these
cumulative sensations, and draw attention to the unique detail and beauty of our native species.
Nature is in a constant state of flux, renewal and resuscitation, and the detail of these processes is
always worth our attention.
