 m - 7:00pm\n\n\n\nAbstract oil painting journeying deep into the wild un
 derwater gardens off Lutruwita/Tasmania. In creating these playful lands
 capes Wilhelmina Burnell seeks to evoke a favourite memory of being embr
 aced by the natural environment\, capturing the whimsy and other worldli
 ness with a depth and naivety that invites the viewer into their own int
 erpretation.\n\n\n\n"In painting these playful abstract seascapes\, I se
 ek to create beautiful works that make people feel good\, and maybe even
  evoke a favourite childhood memory of their own. Perhaps being at the s
 easide\, running along the shoreline\, or exploring rock pools\, transpo
 rting the viewer to a time when the sun was on their back and they were 
 embraced by the wonder of the natural environment.\n\n\n\nOver The Edge 
 is my first public exhibition and a documentation of my family’s boati
 ng adventures off the coast of Lutruwita/Tasmania\, serving as a journey
  of transportation deep into our island’s wild underwater gardens.\n\n
 \n\nWith art a constant theme throughout my life\, I am a self-taught ar
 tist\, starting in earnest by drawing fish as a way to entertain my youn
 g children at the kitchen table. With a childhood spent on the waterways
  of Lutruwita/Tasmania and a passion for exploring wild places\, my care
 er as an artist began with a watercolour practice\, painting the many sp
 ectacular fish species I have observed whilst free diving the waters of 
 Tasmania and around the world.\n\n\n\nOver the past twelve months I have
  been experimenting with oil paint\, discovering that my true love lies 
 with oil on canvas. My abstract paintings start with underpainting then 
 adding layers of oil paint with oil stick on top.\n\n\n\nAbstract oil si
 ngs for me as a way to express myself in an expressive\, colourful and p
 layful way. I use bold bright colours with undertones of softness. Some 
 marks are gentle\, dreamy\, floaty and others are sharper allowing them 
 to come forward.\n\n\n\nSometimes my fastest mark making is my most rewa
 rding. It allows me to capture a fleeting feeling and the paintings beco
 mes alive. Many of my paintings are of memories of time spent with my fa
 ther who passed away when I was quite young.  It is\, however\, only w
 hen I finish a piece that I realise it is representative of a memory l
 ong forgotten.\n\n\n\nThis body of work uniquely captures the whimsy and
  other worldliness of the underwater adventures I have shared with my fa
 mily over the years\, with both a depth and naivety drawing the viewer i
 n all at once."- Wilhelmina Burnell\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility\n\n\n\nAcce
