Join north-east Victorian artist, Simeon Ayres as he describes his process and works that make up his exhibition, A Cartography of the Heart country …A courtship of belonging, that is currently on display in the Simpson Gallery.
To Simeon, “all art is story telling…these maps and drawings are an invitation to see the country anew, they are a gentle plea to turn again, an invitation to come back, to enter the sometimes chaos of this country and sit quietly and listen to what she has to say.”
