Over the summer holidays, Onespace artists, Samuel Tupou and Elisa Jane Carmichael’s works were presented as part of Like yesterday at Redcliffe Art Gallery. Like yesterday draws upon artworks from the Moreton Bay Regional Council Art Collection.
Remember those summers at the beach? Drifting between the hot sand and cool water…collecting shells… balmy nights at the caravan park.
The sun, sand and surf are intrinsic to Australian culture and the beach evokes different memories for all of us. Like yesterday examines our relationship with the beach through the lens of nostalgia, questioning the sense of loss and longing that accompanies our seaside memories. Are we yearning for simpler times and days gone by, or does looking back make us realise how much has changed, not changed enough or needs to change more?
Like yesterday draws upon artworks from the Moreton Bay Regional Council Art Collection, including works by Leonard Brown, Robert Brownhall, Elisa Jane Carmichael, Anna Carey, Minhan Cho, Delvene Cockatoo-Collins, Libby Harward, Katrin Koenning, Archie Moore, Lindy Wisser and Betty Quelhurst. Presented alongside loaned artworks from contemporary artists Angela Tiatia and Samuel Tupou.
Exhibition developed by Moreton Bay Regional Council.
Like yesterday: 12 November 2022 – 28 January 2023.
