As a Torres Strait Islander and now Maitland local, artist Toby Cedar finds deep connection between art, community and culture.
This exhibition will present new works celebrating Eastern island culture by way of traditional and contemporary art forms.
As well as surveying traditional histories of masks, headdresses, myths and legends, Toby will bring to life these stories with sculpture, carvings, dance and new technologies.
Pure joy as you wake to the sunrise. Awe as you make it to the snowy peak. A sense of adventure as you motor across red plains. The relief of rejuvenation as you wade into an alpine stream. Connection as you taste native, fragrant leaves. A sense of belonging as you return to your favourite holiday house. Freedom as you dash into the waves. Discover the endless feelings a visit to NSW can inspire.
