For the Love of Trees: Sue Gasser
Who can deny the splendour of a tree,
Their branches reach up like arms in a form of worship,
They provide a place of rest and shelter for our wildlife
in the heat of the day and the storm, a home and food for some.
They can be clothed in royal garla, consider the purple Jacaranda
and the gold of the wattle,
the changing colours of their leaves in Autumn a display of brilliance,
and the colours of their bark as they shed and renew.
The snowgum like an artists palette with is design and colour.
They provide oxygen for us to breath,
and at the end of their lifes wood for our fires to keep us warm.
If only they could talk they'd have many a story to tell.
Who can deny the splendour of a tree!

Clay: My Personal Dialogue: Therese McMahon
'Clay - my personal dialogue' explores the forms, rhythms and erosions of natural landscapes.
Ongoing stories of transformation over time.
The quiet drama where earth fractures and coastlines erode. Each vessel or sculptural form becomes a tactile record of the forces of wind, water, and growth.
These works invite the viewer to consider the landscape not just as scenery, but also as shifting, stories surfaces.
