Kaye Shumack: Drawing Sydney
Kaye Shumack: Drawing Sydney presents a selection of drawings created over the past five years that explore motifs and traces from the urban landscapes of Sydney鈥檚 public spaces and streetscapes, revealing the beauty of the city鈥檚 lesser known, ordinary locales as well as key landmarks.
These observations, combined with memory of place, elicit the sense of the artist creating a dialogue between time and place, melding the present and the past. As Sydney continues to be re-shaped by large building and infrastructure projects, urban spaces are increasingly contested.
Shumack鈥檚 works are inhabited by the energy or spirit of each location, providing clues to the city鈥檚 layered history and the ways in which it has been shaped and loved by its inhabitants. Together, this impressive body of work reminds us not to take our city, or its history, for granted. Kaye Shumack is a much-admired member of the NAS community who very sadly passed away recently.
