  SCU Graduate Award Winner

  Unrestful Emptiness, Restless Silence is about the pattern of quiet that surrounds the ugly and painful parts of life. Utilising everyday household furniture and combining it with concrete brings a weight to the familiar that we all carry in one way or another.

  Viewing the work reminds us that no one is capable of carrying it alone and silence does nothing but cause pain in the end.

  Official Opening 6:00pm Friday 7 Dec 2018

  ‘The inspiration for this exhibition can be attributed to the life of, and my connection to my Uncle Pat Bancroft, who died at the age of 94 in 2015. His knowledge of the country was phenomenal and it was an absolute joy and privilege to learn from him.  He had no time for fools.

  As an artist I have dedicated 30 years to exploring and recording my family and their history; and the weaving of my own story into that as a Bundjalung woman, mother and artist. I am in awe of this history.  The fact that we have lived in the same spot since colonisation is to be admired.   I have been living in Sydney since 1981 but returned back to our traditional land, at the base of the Bundjalung State Forest at the back of Grafton every year, and recently moved to live in Bundjalung country permanently.’    Bronwyn Bancroft 2018

  Official Opening 6:00pm Friday 7 Dec 2018

  The exhibition, BETWEEN NATURE AND SIN features a decade of past paintings, photographs, videos, and the premiere of COWBOY COUNTRY, David Griggs’ first feature film.

  David Griggs explores the darker undercurrents of human existence. His work, predominantly portraiture, focuses on the human condition; drawing on political imagery, underground media, local histories and personal experience. Famous for his bold approach, Griggs exposes the raw underbelly of society.    His work is often collaborative, engaging directly with communities while remaining sensitive to the ethical and moral obligations this demands. For the last 10 years Griggs has resided in the Philippines and has created a significant body of work that reveals the social hierarchies and underground culture of his adopted home.   A Campbelltown Arts Centre exhibition presented nationally by Museums & Galleries of NSW. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body.

  When was the last time you gave yourself permission to fully rest, to feel your body and listen to the soft whispers of your heart telling you what your real needs are? 

  Spending some quiet time with you can be helpful to witness and work with negative thought patterns, to actively take in the good or to simply be.

  Join one of the IRest sessions. IRest is easy to do and it can be done by anyone. During an IRest session you can sit or lay down in any way that is comfortable for you, and listen to the guidance.

  Sam Voolstra is a certified IRest® and yoga and mindfulness teacher.

  5.30pm - 6.45pm
  Fixed Price: Adult $18, Concession $15

  Finding safety, belonging and love within you changes how you see the world. It makes it easier to take in the good, and let go of hurt. 

  And gives you the space and understanding to respond, instead of react, to whatever happens in your life.

  It is easy to do and it can be done by anyone. Just lay down, get comfortable and listen to the guidance.
