Six Seasons is an expansive cross-cultural and collaborative project celebrating the environmental cycles and rhythms we all experience across the Nowra region. A large fabric installation, created with local plant-based dye via the Plant Sensibilia Machine during a public participatory event, will form the centrepiece of the exhibition. Drawing on methods of slow looking, print-based processes and plant colour, this collaborative work gently registers sensory responses to place. Guided by Aunty Deidre Martin and Jacob Morris who are revered and respected custodians of Yuin cultural knowledge, communities and individuals in the region are invited to share their personal observations of seasonal markers and shifts through changes in plants, animals, light, or weather. These diverse contributions will inform the installation and will produce a collective portrait of place through the lens of seasonal change which evolves across the exhibition.
