An exhibition of contemporary prints responding to artists from previous generations who have had connections with the Southern Tablelands region between Sydney and Canberra. The 25 printmakers each chose a different artist as the starting point from their work. Choices ranged from the possum skin cloaks crafted by the original aboriginal inhabitants of the area, to colonial artists such as
Joseph Lycett, to some of the greats of Australian art. These artists included
Lloyd Rees,
Arthur Boyd,
Fred Williams and
Brett Whiteley, as well as photographers such as
Frank Hurley, ceramic artist Gwen Hanson-Piggot, sculptors Tom Bass and
Bert Flugelman and assemblage
artist Rosalie Gascoigne.
