EXHIBITION: 6 – 28 MAY, 2017

DEVONPORT REGIONAL GALLERY

 

Devonport Regional Gallery presents the community exhibition, PORTAL, featuring 62 photographs from residents and visitors in Tasmania’s North West captured on Saturday 8 April 2017.

The community photography project captures 24 hours of coastal living through the lenses of people across the North West. Participants were encouraged to register their involvement through the Gallery’s website prior to Capture Day on 8 April – of which 88 registrations were collected. Participants were then asked to capture any moment from their day on Saturday 8 April from across the North West. Photographs were received from Temma to Squeaking Point and at various times across the 24 hour period.

PORTAL provides us with a glimpse of life in this small corner of the world and celebrates the things and experiences we enjoy, cherish and love. Above all, PORTAL is a project about place – the places we inhabit and the places we explore. Place is integral to our identity and these photographs which have captured fleeting ordinary moments in our day, provide an insight into our identity through the places we call home and the places that lure us in.” – Dianne Sheehan, Education & Public Programs Officer, Devonport Regional Gallery

Our children appear so innocent, so curious yet so small, their hearts and minds are full of wonder as they view our world so tall. A family adventure to Anvers bringing so much joy, from chocolate tasting, bouncing train and playing in the rain.

Relaxation 
On rainy days my husband and I like to go to our favourite coffee shop in Penguin; Renaessance. There we sit in the glass house area listening to the rain as we drink coffee and read books. To us, this is complete relaxation.

Man with his boat and a beautiful rainbow
I was talking to a man with his boat at Squeaking Point Jetty. He was waiting for the props he had ordered to get the boat going so he could take it to Queensland. It started to rain so he got his umbrella out and then the sun came out and the glorious rainbow.

Before the Storm
The jetty is a popular fishing spot. The dark and moody clouds are what I was attracted to on the day. I love a good storm, but this evening it was just the contrast and perception of a moody day.

I decided to go on an adventure on some back roads towards Lower Barrington, when this backdrop caught my eye. I couldn't drive past it, so I pulled over and ran across to the other side of the road. I'm big on car photography I had to have mine in there, I think it adds to the shot as it's the reason I was out there in the first place.

Sunset
We took the opportunity to go for a walk when the rain stopped around sunset and it was well worth it. The sky was a palette of colour - so beautiful.

I was taking a break from painting and am lucky to have this view from my studio.  It is the view across Ulverstone to the Dial Range with the setting sun.  The town and vehicle lights are on. I enjoy looking out at this time of day.

Gawler Store after sun-set
During the day, the Gawler store seems very much part of its surroundings;
At night -
it becomes more like a beacon,
to locals, and for those that pass by.

The street light was shining on the wet ground and the raindrops on my lens were creating orbs in the photographs.
