Orange Regional Gallery will see out 2019 with two new exhibitions by local artist Ros Auld and Bill Moseley.

Ros Auld is inspired by the natural world. Based in her studio at Borenore, where she has been for forty years, Ros makes work that responds to the landscape around her.

Her exhibition Adventures in Ceramics includes cast bronzes, vessels, wall pieces, sculptures and collaborations from the 1970s to today, including a new series of small works created over the last few months in response to Ian Fairweather’s ‘Woman at Window’ (1955), a painting from the Mary Turner Collection at Orange Regional Gallery.

This is the first time a survey exhibition of this scope has been presented of Ros Auld’s works, introducing unseen works alongside familiar pieces in a new context that will take the viewer on their very own adventure through Ros’ ever-changing practice.

Hill End artist Bill Moseley’s exhibition A Lake, a Forest and the Dark Voice of the Sea presents a series of ambrotypes – an early photographic technique from the 1850s where photographs are printed onto glass – along with digital video that focuses on nature at its most grand.

In February 2019, Moseley undertook a ten-day voyage, sailing from Hobart to Sydney on a historic ship. During this voyage, he captured footage of the shores of Tasmania and Bass Strait, producing a series of ambrotypes and digital video work. Impressive in scale, the floor to ceiling video projection, accompanied by audio of crashing waves and howling sea winds, offers the viewer an immersive experience of the sublime power of the sea.

The exhibition will be opened at 6pm Friday, 13 December, by Kon Gouriotis OAM, Editor of Artist Profile Magazine

Ros Auld and fellow artist and collaborator, Tim Winters will present an artist talk at 5:30pm prior to the opening.
