Gay Hawkes - Narryna: seaborne
A pioneer in the use of found material...
Seaborne is a solo exhibition featuring renowned Tasmanian artist Gay Hawkes held at the historic merchant's house, Narryna. Gay Hawkes is a maker of sculpture and furniture and a producer of performance events and installation. This exhibition follows on from Gay's major retrospective "The House of Longing" at the Tasmanian Museum and Art gallery in 2022. Her sculptures and furniture are represented in most major Australian public galleries and collections, including the National Gallery of Australia, the Australian Parliament House Collection and the Australian War Memorial Art Collection.
Narryna is an 1830s merchant’s house and collection that tells the story of early colonial life in Hobart. Open to the public, this fine Georgian town house was built by seafarer, Captain Andrew Haig who also built the warehouses facing Salamanca Place in 1834.
