Jeff Gardner Exhibition Daylight in the Daydream and the Insects Moons

The artist Jeff Gardner draws inspiration from the poetry of nature – the movement of the earth, stars, the moon and its effect on the animals, the insects, feelings. To stand outside at night and look up at the silver moon is universally awe inspiring. Anthropomorphic figures have evolved – the figure in the landscape, the poet drifting in and out of the various landscapes, the lovers hidden. The micro world of insects make people feel like giants, while at the same time the universe makes everyone feel like ants.

The official opening with remarks by esteemed artist, John Wolseley will be at 2:00 PM on Saturday 7 March. Exhibition accompanied with an Artist Floor Talk will be on Sunday 15 March at 2:00 PM.
