16.01.2022 I like to acknowledge history, especially technical history, in the construction of my work. I look for comfortable dynamic forms that carry surfaces which together constitute a sense of ‘elegant survival’. Only a few days now until the opening of Rowley’s exhibition on Friday. Also opening at the @noosaregionalgallery on the same night, are exhibitions by multi media artist Beatrice Prost and painter Ian Smith. EDIT - all sessions for the opening are now full. ... Attendance is free and bookings for the opening event are essential. There are still a few spaces available at 7 pm on Friday, September 18. At Noosa Regional Gallery 9 Pelican St, Tewantin QLD 4565 Covid safe procedures will be followed, including an online booking system for attendance, to ensure an orderly flow of people through the gallery.
