Marian drew: BuoyanCy
1 July – 17 october 2011
For the second in the gallery's series
of artist's choice exhibitions, respected
Queensland photographer marian drew
curated a display from the gallery's
collection relating to that most precious
resource — water. through these
works, drew explored the mythical and
psychological associations we have with
water and, in the process, sought to engage
with 'notions of transcendence, suspension
and submergence'. to accompany the
exhibition, an exhibition brochure was
produced.
