Courtesy the artist and Blue Mountains City Art GalleryTo Aug 25 with every breath – being in the present
moment is a fundamental challenge in contemporary
society. The rituals we undertake on a daily basis
can serve as a reminder to be present, to be here
now. Whether making food, washing or dressing we
perform multiple ordinary actions on any given day.
When we pay attention to these actions we become
aware of that moment. The artists in this exhibition
encourage us to slow down, be still, breathe, reflect
and listen: most importantly they ask us to take our
time. The exhibition includes a music video work byKatoomba High School students and features artists
such as Sarah Breen Lovett, Cherine Fahd, Karen
Golland, Anne Graham, Rachael Wenona Guy &
Leonie Van Eyk, WeiZen Ho, Rachel Peachey &
Paul Mosig, Pamela Pirovic, Julie Rrap, Honi Ryan,
Abi Tariq, Marty Walker and Hayley West. A Blue
Mountains City Art Gallery exhibition curated by
Rilka Oakley. This project is supported by the NSW
Government through Create NSW (see ad page 127).Rachael Wenona Guy & Leonie Van Eyk, This House, My body –
