📍Chasing Colours runs until 30 May (across ARtS SPACE and NEXIS Gallery, Arts Narrogin)

It is difficult to think of another tree so overlooked and omnipresent as the eucalyptus. They are a background character in our lives until suddenly, somebody insists you look again.

A couple of hours south-east of Perth, in the Wheatbelt town of Narrogin, a new exhibition is attempting precisely that act of ‘looking again’. Chasing Colours, part of The Eucalypts of Narrogin: Art, Science and Stories, is spread across NEXIS Gallery, housing the process piece, and ARtS SPACE showcasing the art – and presents an exercise in observation that is artistically collaborative and scientifically rigorous.

Today we acknowledge National Sorry Day and remember the Stolen Generations— Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who were forcibly removed from their families and communities by the government.

We recognise the importance of truth-telling and the role it plays in healing, creating space for reflection, understanding and deeper connection to shared histories.

In our ongoing commitment towards supporting First Nation artists, we continue to listen, learn, and walk alongside communities.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we spoke to three regional WA artists, Francesco Geronazzo, Sadie James, and Belinda McCawley. Through printmaking, storytelling, and time spent in nature, each is finding ways to shift attention away from the churn of the mind and back towards something steadier.
