Monthly Guest Curators

The following leading Curators and Gallery Directors from around Australia each selected an artist to be featured on this site and wrote a piece to accompany the selected works. Each Curator came to the Northern Rivers and participated in VAN Curatorial Panels for artists. In these meetings, artists received critical feedback about their work, and career advice and suggestions.

introduction to selected works

Lyndall Adams's works are evocative and visually striking. Through a collage of images, objects and texts drawn from a range of sources, both public and personal, her works tap into a form of collective memory. She creates fascinating suggestions of ordinary lives deeply grounded in her local experience, stating that 'hidden in the ellipses / somewhere between memory, archive and history great stories hide'.
