In The Dry
This exhibition brought five Darwin artists together (Jane Moore, Robert Walter, Veronica Priestly, Alison Worship and Dawn Beasley) to celebrate the dry season impact on the Top End wetlands and adjoining sandstone escarpments. The ability of the flora and fauna to adapt to the challenges of months of dry hot weather after having been saturated throughout the monsoonal humidity is evidence of the uniquely dynamic ecosystem that we need to protect.
Dawn's contribution to this group show explored two aspects of the dry: the crisp dry leaf matter creating layered patterns of repeated shapes and also the cycle of renewal created by fire.
