Fields of View
Artist’s Leonie Ryan, Peter Biram, and Kerrie Warren together with Ursula and Werner Theinert will share their individual visions, questions and raw emotion through their focus of the aftermath of their own experiences of the Black Saturday fires in Victoria.
Fields of View will be a thought provoking exhibition, which presents a variety of perspectives and perceptions about the environment we live in as seen through the eyes, hearts and minds of five passionate Australian artists.
The disastrous firestorms in the summer of 2009 were a reminder that environmental issues are in the forefront of the collective psyche of the entire country. This was made even more poignant with Ursula Theinert, whose work has for the last few years revolved around forest management issues and who along with Werner, lost years of work and research marterial whilst defending their home at Callignee from the fires.
The entire foundation group were involved within these fire-ravaged regions making them stronger and more determined to use the arts as a vehicle to promote environmental issues.
Each artist will explore and push boundaries through their own unique style and mediums.
The exhibition will be staged at various venues in Victoria and should be an amazing insight into an incredibly debilitating event from a Visual Arts perspective.

Thank you Steve for your interest in our new environmental art movement. The group does feel strongly about the importance of the role of artists, and the community in coming on board to help stimulate interest and discussion with their own personal insights into this fundamentally basic and important dialogue into taking some control or even affect on the outcome of out collective futures!
Cheers
Ursula
