Event Information
Description
Enquiries: lwag@uwa.edu.au or 08 6488 3707
Slow your day down by joining us for a different kind of art gallery tour. Much like a mindfulness exercise where you focus on your breathing, in this tour we settle our minds on the artwork on display.
We begin this session with a close observation of selected artworks from the exhibition, followed by an informal discussion on themes of empathy and compassion.
About Stewart Scambler: Fragment
The natural environment and the intense light of Western Australia has significantly influenced Stewart Scambler’s practice as a potter. Scambler presents a new body of work, a striking assembly of large-scale sculptural forms and murals inspired by his recent journey through the Pilbara and Kimberley.
The exhibition is supported by the Friends of the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery.
