Summer Fields

This exhibition takes its inspiration from the last line of a death poem by the great Japanese printmaker, Hokusai, Now as a spirit I shall roam the summer fields. Late summer has a very particular feel, the hum of insects, dried grasses, crops ripening, warm evenings, thunderstorms. It is a time of tangled grassy banks and rippling wheat fields. This golden time has attracted the attention of many artists in the CAM collection. As well as paintings, the exhibition includes baskets, mats and adornments woven from dried grasses, canes and sedges.

Artists include:

Rick Amor, A M E Bale, W Rubery Bennett, Ernest Buckmaster, Murray Griffin, Donald Laycock, Gabrielle Martin, Geoff O'Loughlin, Dawn Pascoe, John Perceval, Hugh Ramsay, Tom Roberts, Arnold Shore, Wendy Stavrianos, Liz Sullivan, Unknown makers, Fred Williams.
