MARCH 2023

‘Petrichor’ by Bridget Barkle, Tessa Carty, John Dalton, Hannah Depper, Bronwyn Langford Martoo (Whole Gallery)

‘Petrichor’ is the latest show from a group of friends who met when they were teachers and pupils at Saint Mary’s Catholic College in Kingaroy. John and Bronwyn were teachers and Bridget, Tessa and Hannah were students at the College. All three girls were senior art students and have gone on to be practising artists. John has been a photographic artist for over a decade and Bronwyn has a  Visual Art degree and is the Art teacher at the College. These five artists and friends have created their latest show based on their combined emotional attachment for the South Burnett, the lands of the Wakka Wakka people. The word petrichor translates to ‘the smell of the earth just after rain’. They hope their show will take the audience on an emotive journey through the land on which they exhibit and connect the audience through time and space. There is a wide variety of mediums between the group and this show features paintings, photographs, ceramics and assemblage sculptures.
