IN a world that often rushes by on the surface, it’s rare to find art that asks us to look deeper—literally. The latest exhibition by Splinter Contemporary Artists, Breaking the Surface, does just that.
On show at the Kyabram Town Hall Gallery, this striking collection is the result of a creative journey to the Dookie Quarry, where artists explored the hidden layers beneath our familiar Goulburn Valley landscapes. Using clay unearthed from the site, along with textiles, paint and mixed media, they’ve brought to life the unseen geology, textures, and life forms that lie below.
The works are raw, immersive and thoughtful challenging us to consider not just what we see, but what we overlook. True to their name, Splinter Contemporary Artists continue to innovate and inspire, pushing boundaries and sparking dialogue.
Breaking the Surface runs until August 2, Monday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm. It’s well worth stepping inside the gallery, to delve more deeply beneath the surface.
