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.
