Sky, Earth, Water

Sky, Earth, Water explores Rosalie Gascoigne’s connection to the material landscape, alongside new commissions by leading First Nations artists Lorraine Connelly-Northey, Janet Fieldhouse and Glenda Nicholls.

Together, these parallel presentations offer a powerful dialogue across generations and perspectives, celebrating the enduring role of landscape, memory, and material in shaping artists expression.

Gascoigne’s works evoke massed white clouds, snaking bodies of water, and weathered grey and golden expanses inspired by the wheat fields of the Monaro region of south-eastern New South Wales. This exhibition illuminates the ongoing evolution of Gascoigne’s practice, which centered on the resonances between found industrially-produced materials and the Australian landscape. From smaller experimental studies through to some of her brightest, most iconic works, Sky, Earth, Water presents Gascoigne’s unique, evocative vision.

Extending out from Gascoigne’s works, the exhibition features new commissions by leading First Nations artists created in response to Bundanon’s unique natural environment, and the respective homelands of the artists. These works draw on longstanding cultural knowledge, offering multiple-perspectives on the practice of site-responsive art-making.

The exhibition will present over 20 key works on loan from major institutions including the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the National Gallery of Australia, the National Gallery of Victoria, Heide Museum of Modern Art, TarraWarra Museum of Art and from private collections.
