Curated Exhibitions
2024 ‘Earthed’, New England Regional Art Museum, Armidale NSW.
14 artists from a range of disciplines and geographical environments across Australia came together to form EARTHED. Earthed recognised the unravelling and decline of the earth and its fragile environments. There is a desperate need to reverse the damage and preserve our ecosystems going forward, and to rewild the earth. Earthed was a snapshot in time, providing a vision and hope for the future.
