Opening Friday, June 5.
LIVING is a collection of intimate, observation-based artworks by Mary-Rose Riley. Created in the town of Stanley, these pieces explore the quiet beauty and emotional complexity of life in a new place.
In her work, Mary-Rose captures Stanley’s beauty and seasonal drama - the towering trees, birdsong and shifting colours, but also the challenges of isolation, winter darkness and the enduring quiet.
Now, after thirteen years away, Mary-Rose returns to Wodonga with these works, a map of her life up the hill.
