Another Destination

16 November 2007 - 16 March 2008
Ravenscar Gallery

The Gallery again celebrates the strength and breadth of visual arts practice in Canterbury today with a summertime Emerging Canterbury Artists exhibition. This group will profile five artists - Francesca Heinz, Simon Lawrence, James Oram, Rachel Brunton and Zina Swanson - who will offer a fresh viewing experience that will surprise and challenge.

Heinz's work focuses on large-scale, 3D paintings using untanned animal hides that comment on slaughter and sacrifice; Lawrence's installations combine electronic communication devices, video and natural phenomena; Oram combines materials to create social structures; Brunton's sculptures manipulate the use of space to create fictional environments; and Swanson works with organic materials which comment on the fragility of life cycles.
