Event summary

Highlights

Mixed-media works inspired by road and rail travel through regional Victoria
Innovative use of kōzo tissue and paper conservation techniques
Artistic focus on landscapes between Wodonga, Bendigo, and Seymour

The exhibition showcases mixed-media works that translate the temporary vistas of vast skies, agricultural plains, and distant horizons into layered compositions. Drawing on journeys between regional hubs such as Wodonga, Bendigo, Echuca, and Seymour, Baylart uses his background as a paper conservator to manipulate materials. His technique involves tinting and tearing kōzo tissue combined with paint and spray to create atmospheric pieces that oscillate between representation and abstraction.

The arrangement of the pieces is designed to reflect the sensation of viewing scenery through gaps in roadside trees or from moving trains. By focusing on the rhythms and colors of regional travel, the exhibition invites visitors to see familiar Victorian landscapes with fresh eyes. Entry to the exhibition is free for the public.
