Changing places presents the textile works of two established artists who have relocated to the region from Sydney: Judy Hooworth to Morisset and Pamela Fitzsimons to Mount Vincent at the foot of the Watagan mountain range.
Landscape has always informed the work of both artists. The commitment to live ‘in’ the landscape however, has afforded them more meaningful opportunities not only to investigate their respective domestic environs but also to reflect on their relationship with the environment.
