Description
Join us for the opening celebrations of 'Timelines', an exhibition of major new work and select pieces drawing on over twenty years’ practice by accomplished artist Helen S. Tiernan.
Known for her visually stunning works that draw freely from references in art history, the cultural collision of first contact, and keen observations of the natural world, Tiernan grounds her work in storytelling.
‘Timelines’ presents new paintings of whales and sea Country, and chronicles of exploration and evolutionary deep time. Alongside this, the exhibition features some of Tiernan’s breakthrough 'Songlines' paintings from 2004, which depicted her research into life for Aboriginal women and children in the Lake Tyres Mission.
Born in Gippsland, Helen S. Tiernan is an artist of Aboriginal and Irish heritage, now living in Fish Creek. She studied visual art at the Australian National University Canberra School of Art, graduating with honours in 2001.
