The natural beauty of Kororoit Creek is the inspiration behind a new exhibition.
Sunshine West artist Ursula Dutkiewicz’s multifaceted exhibition is set to begin on August 20, and will feature an array of work from the artist.
“[It’s a] mixed-media show, so I’m doing photos, and I’m doing photo-collage – so I’ve used my photos to create a storyline of the creek – and there’s some poetry,” Dutkiewicz said.
The exhibition also shows what Dutkiewicz called a “community tree”, which includes images from the Friends of Kororoit Creek group.
Dutkiewicz said the Friends of Kororoit Creek’s work enabled her to see the natural beauty of the creek.
“I did a clean-up day and I got to meet the Friends of Kororiot Creek … I started noticing more birdlife. And I started doing their activities, and I noticed all of the birds,” she said.
“Then I started writing a few poems about the creek, and I decided I would do an exhibition about the creek.”
‘Home-a year in the life of the creek’ can be viewed at Hunt Club and Community Arts Centre, 775 Ballarat Road, Deer Park, Monday-Friday, 9.30am-4.30pm until October 7.
