🌼 🐩 two obsessions

ON NOW — Dan Kyle ‘Aurora Meander’ an exhibition of new paintings from the artist’s Blue Mountains studio, current until 26 November. Link to the exhibition in our Bio 🔗 Join us at the gallery this Saturday from 2pm to meet Dan and chat with him about his practice and this latest body of work. ‘It is from my studio on Darug land, on the fringe of the Wollemi National Park that I can witness a landscape constantly in flux, studying the constant changes in light, temperature and atmosphere. From the hot, hazy days of summer that bring unabating downpours of rain to the relentless, bone-chilling winds during the winter. Living surrounded by a landscape of towering gums and flowering gardens allows a sort of hyper-focus. I can acutely watch the season as they shift. This body of work, painted over an entire year acts almost like a journal. Twelve months of memories, from the big and the small, all recorded in paint. From simple everyday moments that often go completely unnoticed, like a fog or a puff of smoke to catastrophic events like flood and drought. The early morning and the late afternoon are particularly important. There is a short period during the last moments of dusk when the sky lights up brilliantly. The sun falls behind the mountains to the west, shooting out its final rays, creating an otherworldly glow.’ Dan Kyle, 2024 @dan_kyle Installation images Louis Lim @loui_slim #dankyle #australianlandscape #edwinacorlettegallery

I was totally 💔 after a storm stripped the side of this escarpment of its ancient angophoras and turpentines but of course the wombats are here to remind me that in the bush, devastation can create opportunity 🪏 🏠 #barenosewombat #darugland

Look closely, listen carefully ⛰️

I can’t find the Dharug name for this so if you do lmk but it’s my favourite bush snack ever. The sour currant leptomeria acida. Juicy sour vitamin c goodness. Also some crunch ASMR for you all if you’re freaky.

There’s still a petrol shortage but the paper daisy drought has been broketh 🌼💕 @jenowlempire

Everyone’s looking for sun today

I’ve been in here…hustling, resenting, thrilled, nervous, ecstatic, content, doubtful, and felt like a genius, felt like a loser, I’ve given up, I’ve restarted, I’ve made things and destroyed them. Here’s to anyone who makes stuff xx
