The show contains images of the fragmented landscape in prints and photographs, and the artist’s thoughts on the subject of landscape are reflected in a quote by Goethe, '….one creates a manner for oneself and makes a lan- guage for oneself, in order to re-express in one’s own way, what one has grasped with the soul. A landscape is not a copy of nature or your surround- ings. A landscape is not to elevate or to ennoble and to develop a style. A landscape can be part essence and part spiritual or both, though it must come from within.' Landscape Allegory continues until August 10 at the Commu- nity Printmakers Art Space at Bray Park, 33- 35 Kyogle Road, Murwillumbah. The exhibition is open Friday to Sunday, 11am-3pm, and CPM members are on hand at the gallery to discuss the works. 18 The Tweed Shire Echo June 10, 2010
