GHOST TREE

Tania Ferrier

Opening Saturday, October 3, 5-8pm

Wine provided by Wise Wine.

In Ghost Tree, Tania Ferrier painted over paintings she originally produced for The Quod Project that were based on her own families photographs of holidays on the island. Ferrier has painted a rendition of one particular Tuart tree, near Pinkies Beach, that expresses the beauty and the sorrow of the island’s history. The tree is repeatedly painted to suggest a transition of time from dawn to dusk to midnight and they sit alongside a series of small ink washes produced plein air, on site. Ferrier’s family memories lie beneath these works and are her way of acknowledging the layers of history on the island; as a place much loved by holiday makers and as a place that holds the possibility for a far greater experience if we choose to learn and understand the deep and powerful connection to Rottnest/Wadjemup for Western Australian Aboriginal people.

The exhibition runs until Sunday October 11.

Gallery open 10 to 5pm daily.
