This is a well presented exhibition that includes a variety of artforms attuned to the theme of discovering a new way to view the landscape. Artistic approaches range from looking up, out and inward to note different ways of seeing what's around us.

Donna McClement presents photographs and mixed media drawings of chimneys. Recognizing the rooftop structure as representative of 'hearth and home' the artist employs her photographic images as inspiration for her well drawn vertical compositions. Each drawing repeats the selected chimney pot, and accompanying architectural details, in a variety of viewpoints suggestive of a rooftop family. These are excellent extensions of fine photographs.

Mona Ketelsen too displays photographs that reveal a good eye for subject and lighting. Her series Sense of Place offers five different trees as lonely black patterns standing against the warm glow of the horizon and a pale, empty sky. Ketelsen also presents her fused glass and silver wire wall hangings that will give a new look to the landscape when viewed through these coloured patterns.

Helen Okamoto examines the signs and symbols in our environment. Her three large paintings are dominated by paved steps an ramps that bring us to the convergence of the Canning and Stirling Highways. Okamoto has created a lonely place, minus vegetation and inhabited by a single soul, yet there is warmth in the work thanks to her use of colour and good manipulation of the medium.

Wing Chow and Jane Lidbetter take us into the third dimension with their work. Lidbetter offers interesting  jewellery which appears to be influenced by Egyptian colours while Chow's ceramic figures are suggestive of exotic nature nymphs.

Each artist owns a specific and well developed talent that allows this eclectic exhibition to work well. We look forward to more shows in this relatively new gallery.
