The Overwintering Project: Western Port

Co-ordinated by Melbourne artist Kate Gorringe-Smith

6 March to 23 May 2021

The Overwintering Project is a long-term environmental art project that unites artists around Australia to raise awareness for our most endangered group of birds, migratory shorebirds, and their habitat. Migratory shorebirds spend the summer on our beaches, then fly annually to the arctic to breed, a round trip of over 25,000 km.

The Overwintering Project: Western Port focusses on Western Port as an internationally significant migratory shorebird habitat. The exhibition features 17 artists who have produced new work in a variety of media inspired by the local Western Port environment. These will be shown in conjunction with the Overwintering Project Print Portfolio, a growing collection of 300+ original prints made by artists from Australia and New Zealand in response to the unique nature of their local migratory shorebird habitat.

This exhibition celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, is part of the 2021 Art+Climate=Change Festival and is dedicated to the memory of Dr Clive Minton OAM, father of Australian shorebird research. The Overwintering Project: Westernport is supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.

Picture/ Window at 516 Little Bourke St

 

Late last year the eagle eyed Jennifer Smyth sent through a callout from City of Melbourne for artists to produce work for empty shopfronts in the CBD. I’m thrilled my drawing ‘Streetscene, Phnom Penh’ was chosen, and is now on display at 516 Little Bourke St. 

Huge thanks to Jen for the suggestion, City of Melbourne for supporting the project, Hayley Haynes from No Vacancy Gallery for the excellent photography, and Harry Hicks from King's Domain for the haircut. 

Thanks also to Faber-Castell Australia for the pencils that made this drawing possible, and for selecting this work for a bronze award in their 2020 Colour4Life competition.
