"Road:Works" by

GILBERT GRACE

This show will consist of oil painting, woodblock (and glass) printmaking and pencil sketches inspired by the Sydney Green Ring.
 
Within a 5km radius of Erskineville in Sydney's inner west there exists a network of paths that follow ancient waterways, either along narrow streams and watercourses, or the majestic Sydney Harbour and its byways. When linked together they form a traversable ring around the inner south and inner west of Sydney.
 
Contained within that ring is the entire history of the early colonial settlement of Sydney. It is a cornucopia of historic events, architecture, industry, culture which is still unfolding and developing, a living environment and history being carefully nurtured back from the ravages of exploitation and neglect.
