Clarence Valley Artist Rochelle Summerfield is opening her solo exhibition Crossroads at the Western Plains Cultural Centre, Dubbo this Saturday, December 7th.

Running through to the 16th of February, Crossroads is an exhibition that uses visual storytelling to explore themes on loss and transformation. Summerfield’s bold experimentations through animation and mixed media shadow works disrupt traditional art forms as she combines new technologies to create dialogues around female subjectivity, nature and transformation. Crossroads examines the relationships between humans and the environment which Summerfield believes are intrinsically bound to our sense of self, well-being and connections within communities.

Crossroads is a HomeGround Exhibition, produced in collaboration between WPCC and Orana Arts. This project was assisted by a grant from Create NSW and supported by the Visual Arts and Craft Strategy, an initiative of the Australian State and Territory Governments. The program is administered by the National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA).
