Rockhampton’s living history, captured in ink, wax, textile, mud and metal...
ReCollection is an unexpected look into the stories and faces of the region's past.
This all-new exhibition draws on historical accounts from this "city of sin, sweat, and sorrow", from the natural world, our historic buildings, and from the life experiences and family legacies of five innovative Rockhampton artists: Michelle Black, Clare Ford, Peta Lloyd, Derek Lamb and Belinda McGrath.
Our five artists bring five lifetimes of artistic practice in a variety of traditional printing techniques, bold modern work, and wild experimental imaginings. ReCollection mixes the familiar with the forgotten and views local legends through new eyes, and you can see this exhibition for free during Beef Australia 2018 in early May. There will be new takes on places you recognise, old friends, and characters from the shadowy past brought blinking back into the light. You’ll find works that take a second look at Rocky’s distinct cultural identity, and draw on local history recorded in The Early History of Rockhampton and Battler’s Tales of Early Rockhampton.
Our muse for this journey is Mad Dan Morgan - that’s him in our profile photo. He’s an ancestor of one of our artists, and... well, let’s just say he’s quite a character. He also runs our Instagram @DanMorganAndHisPrinters, where he’s sharing snippets of the works in progress and adding his two cents to our artists’ adventures.
