‘Nearness’ is an exhibition that celebrates the rich body of site-specific artistic explorations by Robbie Rowlands as part of the Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery residency program. Whilst exploring Broken Hill and the surrounding landscape, Rowlands was drawn to moments that captured unique perspectives of his experience. Rather than being drawn to the infinitely vast landscape, Rowlands turned his gaze to specific sites and materials that, in their solitude, offered distinctive qualities that he felt framed his experience.

Nearness will be on show for three days at the incredible Machinery Preservation Society. The exhibition will feature projection, sculpture and sound.
