Liz Powell: Objects of a Different Archaeology

Tenterfield printmaker Liz Powell takes archaeology for a ride through the New England tablelands combining botany, early domestic labour, farm machinery and history. She uses the study of native plants, endangered species and the impact of grazing and weeds to explore the attempts of settlers and explorers to domesticate and pastoralise the region. Objects of a Different Archeology encompasses etching, relief and mono printing, drawing, stitching, and the Korean paper-making technique of joomchi.

Opening Night: Friday 29 September, 6-8pm
