As part of a series of short summer exhibitions, DRAW Space is thrilled to present Murray+Burgess / POTENCY.

Opening Thursday 22 January, 6-8pm. Please join the artists and the DRAW Space community to celebrate this exceptional exhibition.    

Ro Murray and Mandy Burgess are two art-collaborators working from Durag and Gundungurra country in Mt Victoria, who became artists late after careers and families. In POTENCY Murray and Burgess present an installation of drawings of older Australian female artists who challenge society’s assumptions about productivity in later life: they are powerful role models for all female artists. Accompanying the portraits are drawings of the Regent Honeyeater and yellow glyphs of its translated birdsong, connecting this work with an ongoing project on the endangered bird.
