Stunning Dryland exhibition opens at USC Gallery
A stunning exhibition of huge multi-layered and textured collages by South Australian artist Pamela Kouwenhoven will be on display at the University of the Sunshine Coast Gallery from 17 July to 17 August.
Ms Kouwenhoven will tonight attend the USC opening of her "Dryland" exhibition that focuses on the effects of restricted water supply on the landscape.
Many of the works measure more than two metres in diameter and feature the iron bases of water tanks and malthoid (the bitumen-coated material found in the bottom of the tanks).
Ms Kouwenhoven was a finalist in the Sunshine Coast Art Prize in 2007, the Gold Coast Art Prize in 2007 and was a featured artist is South Australia Living Artists (SALA) Festival in 2008.
She will deliver a free talk about the exhibition tomorrow (Friday 18 July) at 10.30am. Bookings are required for this event by calling 5459 4645 or emailing Gallery@usc.edu.au.
The Dryland exhibition will continue until Sunday 17 August which is the University of the Sunshine Coast’s annual Open Day.
