Which Way from Where we Came

~ 19 October – 1 December 2019

Iain Cheesman

~ Which Way from Where we Came

~ Mature, playful, and deeply thoughtful ~ it’s work that continues to question, lament ~ and sometimes smile about ~ the shared disparate life that we all find ourselves living in

In the North Gallery, we welcome back Iain Cheesman. Iain’s career has blossomed – he was one of the stars of Spring1883 in Sydney this year – and this new work shows why. Mature, playful, and deeply thoughtful, it’s work that continues to question, lament, and sometimes smile about, the shared disparate life that we all find ourselves living in. With over 60 works on show, this is one of our show picks of the year.

As well as Iain’s playful and profound wall works, he’s produced a limited number of affordable poems – each with a unique original drawing. (And don't miss the free postcard with a love poem to send signed or anonymously!)
