31 January - 20 March Another Street and other places

| Kathryn Orton. Another Street, 2016. Drawings with models. Dimensions variable. Other Places, 2016. Framed drawings. |
Kathryn Orton’s engaging street scene neatly fills the space of SLOT. A Street beside a street inviting our gaze down and into the gently rendered spaces of another place.
It is part documentation
part memory and part invention. Kathryn explains that she has
reconstructed the main street of a small country town with buildings
remembered from her various visits to Europe.
An unlikely combination gently approaching the surrealism of building European styled towns in the Australian bush. This
unlikely combination is Kathryn’s subject – the spaces we dwell in. She
observes literally as a landscape artist while metaphorically
fashioning corners that trap our gaze with seemingly poignant detail.
