The work in this exhibition is an expression of memory, loss, and longing prompted by a fall into unfamiliar emotional surroundings. These clay vessels and sculptures were made as a reflection of walks in the boreal forest with Chalmers’ father. Hinterland invites viewers to explore their connection to place and memories and emotions they might encounter there.&nbsp;
The gallery is open daily to the public from 9 am - 5 pm.&nbsp;
