GARAWAN WANAMBI MATERIAL NATURE, DRILL HALL GALLERY

'Material Nature' looks to the power of materials to engage our multi-sensory experience of the natural world. With a focus on embodied awareness, the conventional idiom of landscape painting is collapsed, the viewer no longer positioned outside nature, but within. Works by artists Ros Auld, Manini Gumana, Jahnne Pasco-White, John Peart, Ana Pollak, Annika Romeyn, Savanhdary Vongpoothorn and Garawan Wanambi invite contemplation of our inter-relations with ecologies.

Curated by Dr Anne-Marie Jean, 'Material Nature' was presented at the Drill Hall Gallery, Australian National University from 20 June to 10 August, 2025.
