EXHIBITION – Everything the Land Remembered – Artists in residence at Goonoo Goonoo

The current exhibition at Weswal Gallery features a group of artists from Willoughby Art Centre who, together with their two teachers,  undertook a residency at Goonoo Goonoo Station, immersing themselves in the landscapes of the Tamworth region. Working directly on site, they responded to the shifting light, colours, and textures of the environment, producing sketches and plein air studies that captured the immediacy of place.

This exhibition brings together those works alongside paintings developed later in the artists’ studios, where memory, photographs, and field notes informed a more reflective process. Together, these works trace the journey from direct observation to recollection, revealing how landscape is not only seen, but remembered and reimagined. Drawing particular inspiration from Goonoo G oonoo and the Moonbi Lookout, the exhibition also includes a video documenting the residency in action, offering insight into the artists’ shared experience and creative exchange.

This is an exciting collection of artworks from thirteen artists including paintings and ceramics.
