From Here to There

A new exhibition by artists in Supported Residential Services.

The Werribee Gorge, rich reds, browns and oranges create the gorge below, scattered bunches of yellow straw grass, dead tree branches hanging from the earth walls. Above are tall euculyptus trees, vibrant and green leaves contrasting the soft, blue sky.

From Here to There tracks our movement. Movement of the body, of the mind, of time. How we moved from where we were to where we are. How we travel from where we are to where we want to be and the stories we collect and create along the way. What happens when movement is restricted? How is it to be still, resting from movement or awaiting its return.

The SRS Studios are driven by the artists who attend them and, with over 50 artists across the studios, methods and materials are varied. The collection includes works on paper in ink, paint, pencils and pastels, works on canvas, textile wall hangings, mosaics and audio recordings of music and soundscapes.

Join us for an opening celebration on Tuesday 30 May, 2 pm – 4 pm. Light refreshments will be provided. RSVP to rsvp@artsaccess.com.au or by using the form below.

There is an Audio Described Tour on Friday 2^nd June at 3 pm. Please book by emailing RSVP or phone 9699 8299 (voice only)/ 0401 224 864 (text or voice).

This is the first SRS Studios exhibition since 2019. It brings together artists from across 8 SRS Studios.
