" From the Midden - An exhibition of drawings by Thea Bourne

Thursday November 11, 2004

Since discovering an Aboriginal midden on the headland at Culburra Beach, Thea Bourne has used the blackened shell remnants as inspiration for her art which is on exhibition at Ku-ring-gai Council’s Art Centre from November 12 to 26.

“Originally my drawings were inspired by a direct response to the sensual beauty and delicate texture of these broken shells,” Thea said.

“Later they became an expression of a deeper understanding of their particular history and of their general symbolic significance. My present obsessive and almost religious relationship with these shells will hopefully continue to inform my work in the future.”

From the Midden will be opened at 6pm this Friday at the Ku-ring-gai Art Centre and Gallery, Bancroft Park, Recreation Avenue, Roseville. Gallery hours are Monday to Friday 11am to 4.30pm and Saturday 11am to 4pm.

For further information, contact Thea Bourne on 9449 3282 or Judy Harris, Art Centre Coordinator, on 9413 9771."
