Earthbound Photogravures by Belinda Sinclair

A new collection of Photogravure prints by Belinda Sinclair. Opening Saturday 21st September 2pm – 5pm, exhibition continues to Saturday 19th October.

Earthbound is a suite of images engaging the viewer in magic and place. Guided by an animist world view, Sinclair engages with ritual, symbolism and the interaction between the human and the more than human to reveal visions of spirit at play in the world.

The artworks featured in Earthbound developed over a three-year period and were created on the lands of the Ningy Ningy, Turrbal, Jagera, Gubbi Gubbi and Wakka Wakka peoples as a tribute to the past, present and emerging elders within these communities.

The artist acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which she works and lives, through recognising their continuing connection to land, water and community.
