Twilight in Arrente Country
Rachel Carroll

​
5 November - 29 November
Opening Event: Wed 12 November, 6pm-8pm

Through mark-making and painting, this exhibition explores Carroll’s reconnection to the vastness of the land, resonant histories and enduring cultural narratives, which emerged following the artist’s first encounters with Arrernte Country.
About the Artist
Rachel Carroll
​
Carroll has been a practising artist for over 25 years. As a COFA Graduate Carroll explored the Murray Darling River Basin. This culminated in various journeys over 13-years throughout the region. After achieving a master’s in fine art Carroll continued her journey into remote and endangered locations such as the Daintree.
Recently Carroll has returned to familiar family holiday locations such as Hill-End and then, finally making it the RED centre in 2023 she began exploring all that is red in this amazing country. This resulted in a solo exhibition in 2024 at Rex-Livingston Gallery called Arrernte Country.
​
An environmentalist at heart she is always trying to connect us with the natural world, via landscape predominantly but also through images of flowers and studies of birds.
“If I can immerse the viewer in the experience of a landscape, to celebrate the landscape, and to gather an understanding and an appreciation of what we have in this vast country and take an interest in the ancient knowledge that exists in this country. Then I feel I have done my job as an artist.”
