Janet Saunders | Go placidly(?)
5 June - 6 July
Official opening event at 2pm on a Saturday 14 June
Janet Saunders reframes the Desiderata (1927) and asks whether we can afford to “Go placidly”? in our human-centered world? Using body prints, drawings and etchings, she celebrates the beauty and plight of Australian endangered species directly threatened by human inaction and greed. The juxtaposition of images and words highlight the complex relationship we humans have with other species and our need to own, exploit, consume and love to death.

Laurent Rivory's Tumbling Eagle and The Defiant
Public Sculpture Garden
Our Public Sculpture Garden is always open on the lawns of Braemar House for everyone to enjoy!
Guarding the main path to the gallery are two steel sculptures by Laurent Rivory - "Tumbling Eagle" and "The Defiant". "Tumbling Eagle" represents an eagle capturing prey in mid-flight, at the moment where it loses its flight attitude and looks like it might crash – but doesn’t. "The Defiant", with its bold stance, celebrates those who stand firm and defy the odds. These highly abstracted works are made in Rivory's Springwood studio from salvaged steel in line with his sustainability ethos.
