Where

Sydney Road Gallery

Balgowlah, Sydney

A conversation among three artists, Ali Werbeloff, Amanda Mahony and Kate Davis, each following threads of poetry into new work.

We as artists aim to live as creatively and boldly as our hearts allow. There is a unique joy, the deepest satisfaction, and a kind of spiritual appeasement in knowing that something we have made, or worked on, means something to somebody else. It is truly poetic.

So it is here in this exhibition that poetry and art meet within the human heart. It is a shared space and a collection of works. A place where the rhythm of words transforms into the physical texture of paint. These verses helped us to unlock that risky and exposed feeling of starting something new. From the subtle beauty of the natural world to the rhythms and stories of local life or dreamy abstraction, we have followed these poetic threads in our own unique ways. We invite you to enjoy where this journey has taken us: Between Brush & Verse.
