This exhibition is based on the shared notion that humans alter and manipulate the natural environment to their own needs.  Cultural activity leaves traces on the landscape and leads to a profound impact on place.  The body of work produced, is the result of collaborative and individual visits to the Hills Region.  Beginning with a seed of an idea, each artist presents their own contemporary visual response to the beautiful, complex and unique landscape. In this collection, emotion, observation and imagination play with memory to evoke the relationship between place and human life. The artists invite the audience to join them on their journey.

Artists and friends, Kathryn Hill, Ray Meandering, Barbara Palmer and Robyn Zerna-Russell all share an interest in landscape and have common ideals and contemporary practices. A number of years ago, they decided to work together in creating artworks in ‘response to place’ and so began their first Journey in Human Landscape. These journeys ‘to place’ have encompassed Adelaide environs, followed by Port Adelaide, Barossa, Port Augusta, the Alexandrina region and now ‘the Adelaide Hills’; our sixth journey.

The artists have all been recipients of the Grindell’s Hut Artist-in-Residency Programme in the Vulcathunha-Gammon Ranges and have participated in many exhibitions and community art projects.

To this exhibition, the artists bring many decades of art practice, visual art education, the enjoyment of experimenting with new media, and the passion to create and engage with the community.
