25.01.2022 SHOUT OUT - SOOTY WELSH // A big congratulations to Wailwan Elder and Artist, Sooty Welsh who has experienced a number of artistic career highlights over the last 18 months. Today Sooty and his artwork are featured in the Sydney Morning Herald, so be sure to grab a copy! ... As we speak, Sooty's ceramic pieces have all but sold out on Carriageworks Online SOUTEAST Aboriginal Arts Market. It's Sooty's second year being included in this carefully curated market. Besides selling his pieces through interior design power-house Koskela, recently Sooty has had multiple pieces commissioned by the Australian Museum. Sooty takes his work seriously, always striving for the absolute best result he can. His sense of community is incredibly strong, looking for opportunities to encourage and support others and providing much needed education through sharing his very personal life experiences.

23.01.2022 UNPRECEDENTED // Prue Cullen Coming to the Outback Arts Gallery From 23 November 2020... Prue Cullen began her artistic practice with ceramics as a therapeutic outlet as she came to terms with her husband’s illness. Her current collection named ‘Unprecedented’ is born out of processing grief, both personally and for the environment as she watches with despair at the destruction humans have wrought on the planet. Prue’s sculptural pieces of birds and animals, depict them as modern saints, set within ornate shrines. Prue’s hope is that this work will inspire you to contemplate what we stand to lose and reclaim our respect, allowing us to revel in the brilliance of all life on earth. Collapse will likely not come as a dramatic global collapse but as overall deterioration in many features of life, with regional collapses occurring here and there. Around 1 million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction many within decades. The web of life is getting smaller and increasingly frayed. - Will Stefan
