Familiar (fəˈmɪliər)
Familiar: A shared exhibition between Eurobodalla artists Indira Carmichael and Lee Honey.
Unravelling the DNA of recognition and recollection, this exhibition investigates the human experience of familiarity, from a personal and a universal perspective.
Working across a variety of mediums, including collage, textiles and drawing, this body of work explores that elusive spark of remembered acquaintance in both the brain and the heart, while searching for better understanding of familiar connections.
Exhibition: 16 - 24 September 2023
