KAROONDA SILO ART PROJECTIONS 2025

Excited to be a part of the 2025 program for silo projections at Karoonda! 16 of my paintings will be projected continuously every evening in the month of April.

Karoonda is a small country town in South Australia, and every month a different South Australian artist is showcased in a changing display.

Here’s a taste of what’s to come. Go for a drive and perhaps I'll see you there.

Railway Terrace, Karoonda, SA, 5307, Australia (map)

This exhibition explores our sense of proximity as something unfixed, with artwork that reaches near and far. From the comforting closeness of Charlotte Tatton’s paintings, to the faraway landscape preserved in ceramic by Gus Clutterbuck, these works push and pull at our sense of closeness, revealing how relative this concept can be.Mixed group exhibition.

‘Having lived in the F​leurieu for 30 years, I’ve painted this place and come to know it’s seasons, history and people.

It’s a place of contrasts, from the rounded hills & ​gently undulating land leading to the sea. ​There’s beauty in the parched dry summer & golden wheatfields. From vines to old farm implements, they provide an endless source of inspiration. I’ve seen ​the changes of time and I’ve painted its history.
