The Collie Art Gallery has gorgeous wood turned bowls, platters, vases and pens and lovely screen printed tea-towels on sale.
If you head on down to the Art Gallery you will be greeted by a beautiful sculpture called ‘Reflective Regeneration’. The theme of the sculpture is to explore the mysterious properties of how ‘light’ interacts with reflective objects and how the ‘observer’ becomes an integral part of the process. Within this interactive process is a phenomenon known as ‘entanglement’, which essentially describes the transfer of information. In this case it’s the reflected images of the ‘passing crowd’. This beautiful piece was created by Smith Sculptors at Aislinn Studios from Gidgegannup.
