KARIN has lived in the far western NSW town of Wilcannia for over 40 years. She has many close relationships within the local Indigenous community and has produced several acclaimed books with them that celebrate the Paakantji and Ngiyampaa cultures. Her work for this exhibition is in pastels, prints, mixed media and sculpture, and includes landscapes of the outback.

SADHANA lives in Hazelbrook, and graduated with a Master in Ceramics degree from ANU in 2019, the culmination of a long involvement with ceramics from childhood. Since our last exhibition in 2020 she has built a large wood-fired kiln at her home in the Blue Mountains and will exhibit sculptures and pots using a variety of glazes and firings.
