Camie Lyons, Jenny Bell and Angus Fisher have been included in the latest iteration of Paddington Art Precinct at George Place, curated by Justin Miller Gallery.
Lyons has two works included, ‘Seed’ and ‘Untethered’. These works are remnants of her most recent body of work, ‘Bush Calligraphy’, presented at Australian Galleries Sydney in March 2022.
Installation view: Camie Lyons Seed 2021.
Inspired by the immersive experiences during her residencies in 2020 and 2021 – first at Umbi Gumbi on the South Coast of NSW and then BigCi Creative Ground in the ancient landscape of the Blue Mountains – these works highlight Lyon’s inherent understanding and appreciation of nature’s tempo as she brings this sensibility into the urban rush, reminding us to be free of imposed rigidity and nurture the seed within.

“Art, in all its forms, is the expression of the spirit – a fusion of our rational and intuitive selves. It reflects a version of ourselves back to us. If we open ourselves to its power, we might learn to be native to this place.” – Jenny Bell

“Over 10 million animals are killed on our roads each year. This is a uniquely Australian sight; native creatures struck, tagged and discarded by the roadside. Absurd and grotesque, these animals serenely sprawled and ritually marked by passing rangers represent the accepted price of our fast moving world.” – Angus Fisher
