New Surroundings: Rita Winiger

Dive into the majestic and powerful landscape of the East MacDonnell Ranges near Alice Springs with Rita Winiger’s expressive paintings and drawings. Journeying to the Ross River, Armidale-based Winiger was inspired by the dry desert landscape and the body of work in this exhibition is expressive and experimental, using ink, salt, and ochre which Winiger collected and ground herself.

Winiger was awarded the 2018 Helen Dangar Memorial Art Bursary which facilitated her participation in the Larapinta Creative Camp, resulting in this body of work.

Opening Night: Friday 9 February, 6-8pm
