EXHIBITION LAUNCH | Drew Hopper: West of Somewhere East

Yarrila Arts and Museum
Thursday 28 May, 5:30 – 7:00pm
Free entry. All welcome
Light refreshments provided
YAM Bar open

Join us for the opening of ‘West of somewhere east’, a photographic series tracing a cinematic journey through the interior of New South Wales, shaped by long drives, fleeting encounters, and the reflective rhythm of return. Composed through quiet attention to light, texture, and form, the images gather fragments of the in-between: roadside geometries, weathered surfaces, and shifting spatial tensions. Together, they reveal a subdued Australia, shaped by suggestion rather than spectacle.

Drew Hopper is a Coffs Coast based photographer whose narrative approach to photography is shaped by a deep curiosity for the world and a commitment to visual storytelling that reveals the extraordinary in the everyday. He has spent more than a decade working in Australia and internationally, and he has contributed extensively to Australian Geographic, producing feature stories that explore human connection to land, culture, and community.
