50 Shades of Green… An exhibition by Maya Harrison

"The colour green represents nature, growth and the plant world and comes in a vast range of shades and tints...even more than fifty!"  Come and see how Maya have showcased her favourite colour through photography, weaving and a range of mediums in a large installation.

View "Fifty Shades Of Green" at the Botanic Gardens Lagoons Gallery 5th May - 7th June.

The colour green to me represents nature, growth and the plant world. 

Plants are not all the same green colour, nor are the small green  creatures that inhabit them. Shades of green can be found throughout the Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens, in my backyard and in our bush property and this is where the inspiration for this exhibition began.

The colour green may differ in hue, saturation or intensity or brightness. Variations in green hues are also called tints and shades, a tint being a green or other hue mixed with white, a shade being mixed with black.

A large selection of greens in various shades, appear in this exhibition, through artworks and photography, but also in everyday items, pictures or quirky objects in the showcases. 

Love green and celebrate Nature.

The '50 Shades of Green' exhibition includes one installation that is really more than 50 small artworks combined and yes, there are 50 shades of green within it. The installation include acrylics, papermaking, photography, collage, weaving and textiles and found objects from nature.
