Constant Gardeners | Stephen Killick, Jo Davidson, Samone Turnbull
4 - 28 March 2021

Opening night: Wednesday 3 March - RSVP essential
Opening speaker: Ross Garnaut, Professor of Economics, The University of Melbourne



Since the mid 70s, as art students in Adelaide, Killick, Davidson and Turnbull have remained firmly connected, living parallel lives in the arts in a variety of locations, and manifestations.

Constant Gardeners is their third group exhibition, celebrating an enduring friendship of shared interests and common concerns that fuel their art. It represents the tending of both real and metaphorical gardens, domestic and wild, interpreted through their eyes and intense experiences of recent times, with a profound concern for the living world.

We are all Constant Gardeners.

Stephen Killick's political drawings wrangle ideas of world scale proportions, powerful villains and current controversies.

Jo Davidson's landscape paintings spring from the heart and spirit of forests and rivers where she and Stephen live in mid north coast NSW

Samone Turnbull's ceramic vessels look to the backyard and into the garden, for the leafy rhythms that inform her bold designs.

Constant Gardeners brings together three distinct accounts of being here now, from a macro to a micro perspective. It is a group of works attempting to divine sense as we navigate these troubling times.

Opening times: 11am-5pm Thursday to Saturday & 1-5pm Sunday

Stair access only
