Through painting, sculpture, carving, and other traditional and contemporary forms, this exhibition showcases the diverse ways in which stories, identity, and cultural knowledge are expressed through art.  

Featuring works that explore connection to land, lore, and lineage, Markings on Country invites audiences to experience the strength and continuity of Aboriginal men’s voices and visions.

Bushwalk | Rain White

Sat 19 Jul - Sun 31 Aug  | Burrinja Gallery

Rain White’s Bushwalk is a reflective body of work inspired by the therapeutic act of walking through the landscape and the healing power of artmaking. 

Through layers of paint, symbols, patterns, and repetition, Rain explores the emotional and physical experience of place. The rhythmic flow of footsteps is echoed in the intuitive compositions, capturing moments of movement, memory, and emotion. This process-based approach embraces spontaneity and risk, allowing the work to evolve naturally. 

A lifetime spent in the hills informs her deep connection to the forest—a place of growth, renewal, and belonging—where the landscape itself becomes a guide.

Exhibition Opening | Sun 20 July 2pm 

Join Rain for drinks and nibbles as she launches this new exhibition.

Without Bounds | Emily Lowe

Sat 19 Jul - Sun 31 Aug  | Burrinja Gallery

Without Bounds is a striking body of work that explores the profound significance of nature through a process-driven, organic creative practice—free from limitations or the pressure of outcomes.

Inspired by the beauty and complexity of the natural world, Emily challenges the notion of 'creative consumption' by repurposing discarded materials within the traditional medium of acrylic on canvas. Her work transforms waste into vivid depictions of natural phenomena, creating harmony between nature and human impact.

A resident of the Dandenong Ranges and Burrinja Studio artist, Emily is a regular participant in the Dandenong Ranges Open Studios program.

Exhibition Opening | Sun 20 July 2pm

All are welcome—don’t miss this inspiring afternoon!

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations as the traditional custodians of the land where we live, work & play. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. Burrinja extends that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today and acknowledges them as the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. It is through valuing their history, traditions, culture and beliefs that we strive to stimulate awareness and promote respect for Indigenous contemporary art and culture and create a positive future for Indigenous and non-indigenous communities together.

Sovereignty was never ceded.

Always was always will be Aboriginal land.
