SUMMARY:Fractured Sanctuary: Ken O'Regan
DESCRIPTION:Fractured Sanctuary is a luminous meditation on beauty\, waste and the sacred. Ken O’Regan transforms hundreds of discarded plastic objects into a glowing\, kaleidoscopic composition inspired by the rose windows of medieval cathedrals\, Victorian leadlight and the neon signs of contemporary commerce. Seductive and unsettling in equal measure\, the work elevates the everyday while confronting the environmental cost of our culture of consumption. \n\nAbout the artist\nFor over twenty years artist Ken O’Regan has developed sculptural practices that combine found object assemblage with environmental themes. His practice has involved producing large installations that visually echo museums\, stained glass windows\, mandalas and neon signage. His work frequently uses light to make these references\, and this has extended his practice into the area of sculptural lantern making. \nO’Regan’s work is well known in the Hunter Region of NSW through regular and critically successful exhibitions\, community art projects\, public artworks and education projects. He has created many successful workshops for children that combine art education with waste reduction and recycling message. His artworks are represented in the collections of Newcastle Region Art Gallery\, Wallsend District Library\, The University of Newcastle and in many private collections. \n\nOpening Night: Fri 2nd October from 6pm-8pm. Free entry. RSVP here. \nFractured Sanctuary will exhibit at NERAM from Fri 2nd October – Sun 8th November.  \n\nImage: Ken O’Regan\, Fractured Sanctuary (NERAM Configuration)\, 2026. 2400 x 3450mm. 20 panels.
