A Southern Exposure ExhibitionThe coastal town of Esperance/Kepa Kurl on Wudjari Country is the focus in this new exhibition, the sixth show in FORM's Southern Exposure exhibition series showcasing the people, landscapes and talent of the Western Australia's southern regions. Kepa Kurl (pronounced 'Kep-pa Kurl') is the Wudjari name for Esperance meaning 'where the waters lie like boomerangs' referring to the shape of the two bays that sit beside the town.
For the past year, FORM has been working with the community on a prospective Esperance Sculpture Trail project. The Spirit of Kepa Kurl Esperance shares pieces inspired by the character and spirit of the town and its beautiful surroundings. Multidisciplinary artist Stuart McMillan, who relocated from Margaret River/Wardandi Country for a residency, presents work alongside pieces created by well-known local artists, which include metal, glass and timber sculpture, paintings, photography, film and stop motion.
