Main Gallery 2 - 23 September 2023
Wendy Fairclough – Landfall
The gift of the Pandemic lockdown was that being home alone away from my glass studio enabled a quiet return to the drawing, painting and photography of my younger self. The isolation, uncertainty, and enforced separation from loved ones, led me to question how people identify their sense of belonging or sense of home. Although I live in Australia, a piece of my heart always remains in my birth place, New Zealand. I realised it has always been the primal elements of nature - light, sky, water, and land that move me, inspire me, and inform my sense of place in the world. Wendy Fairclough, June 2023
