Mythology meets mortality in Belconnen Art Centre's first exhibition for 2013, Nearly Birds. A collaboration between sculptor Victoria Royds, poet Paul Hetherington and photographer Judith Crispin, this exhibition explores aspects of grace, the vulnerability and courage of human beings as they face the inevitability of old age and death. Each of these collaborative pieces evokes a mythological hero or heroine from literature, each of whom has his or her own approach to dignity and transcendence. The gallery is at 118 Emu Bank, Belconnen and the exhibition is open Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 5pm until February 3. Exhibition tour with Judith Crispin is on January 26 at 1pm; meet the artists at 3pm on February 3.
