Abstract

'UNBOUND is a poetry-art exhibition featuring etchings and collagraphs from Garry Shead’s iconic D.H. Lawrence series, as well as recent poems written in response to those works by Wollongong writer and academic Dr. Luke Johnson.

The exhibition stems from D.H. Lawrence’s three-month visit, with wife Frieda, to Thirroul in the 1920s where he wrote the novel Kangaroo. In the 1990s, Shead drew inspiration from the novel to produce a series of works that consolidated his national and international reputation as a major Australian artist.

The exhibition also explores the way people are influenced by, and draw inspiration for their creativity, from each other.
