Saturday 8 February – Sunday 12 July 2020


Can trees talk? Are you listening? In Tree Conversations: networking with the wood wide web, Networks Australia share fresh insights into the world of trees. Providing audiences with thought provoking exhibitions since 2010, this group of artists from regional NSW and ACT present unique works in a diversity of mediums that will share secrets from the mysterious lives of our leafy companions.

Artists include: Ann McMahon, Belinda Jessup, Bev Moxon, Christine Appleby, Deb Faeyrglenn, Dotti Le Sage, Jenny Manning, Karyn Fearnside, Katherine White, Liz Perry, Marli Popple, Monique Van Nieuwland, Nancy Tingey, Ola Robertson, Rachel Devlin, Rozalie Sherwood, Sharon Peoples, Susan Hey and Wendy Dodd.



In association with the exhibition Tree Conversations: networking with the wood wide web, with the assistance of the Booranga Writers Centre, David Gilbey presented a workshop on Ekphrasis Poetry on Saturday 15 March. Ekphrasis is a vivid, often dramatic, verbal description of a visual work of art, either real or imagined. These are the poetic responses from participants to the exhibition for your enjoyment.
