Grounded – group exhibition

Venue: Gaffa Gallery
Location: 281 Clarence St, Sydney, NSW

Since COVID began, photo-media artists couldn’t just get on places or jump in the car and go wherever they wanted and photograph whatever struck their fancy. The upside was that many now had a great deal more free time. Time that artists could use to reflect, and to decide what was essential in their work. And it's here that many found inspiration.

Grounded is the result of nine artists from around Australia doing just that.

The exhibition is curated by Lynn Daryl Smith.
