A new lens - Beating about the bush.
IIn January 2023, Jason Lehane and Penelope Bartlau, through Barking Spider Creative, had a week-long residency at the Art Gallery of Ballarat. We collaborated to create an installation in response to the exhibition Beating About The Bush. We explored themes of the lost child, surrealism and degradation of nature while examining notions of the photographer's gaze and intent across time.
The Beating About The Bush exhibition brought Art Gallery of Ballarat’s collection of Australian Impressionist landscape paintings together with female photographers who re-examined the Australian Impressionists and brought a new lens to the Australian landscape.
