Re-Wilding

‘Re-Wilding’ is the second solo exhibition by eco artists Annelies Jahn and Jane Burton Taylor, who have worked collaboratively for the past six years. The exhibition, at Chrissie Cotter Gallery in Camperdown, will invite visitors to enter an immersive space, activated not just visually, but through scent, sound, and scale. Through a series of artworks, Annelies and Jane explore the history, ecology and restoration of Sydney’s once-prolific  turpentine-ironbark plant community.
