Deviate – to depart from an established course

Since her solo exhibition in 1998 at the Araluen Arts Centre, Sally Mumford has spent years immersing herself in Arrernte country. 

Her ongoing art practice and teaching have allowed her to connect to place, community and the sharing of stories.    

“From just about any position in the township of Mparntwe, you only have to look out to see ranges and hills. They are significant to the town’s cultural identities. They hold and connect us deeply to place”. 

A survey of Central Australian paintings by John Borrack

Desert Light: Central Australian Landscapes is the first public gallery exhibition to survey the Central Australian work of this treasured senior Australian artist.

Comprised of 30 much-loved oil paintings, watercolours and drawings, the exhibition is drawn exclusively from the artist’s private collection. These accomplished works provide a snapshot of six decades of work and represent a lifelong ambition to convey what is felt as well as seen in nature.
