The Monash Gallery of Art

I recently had the opportunity to visit the Monash Gallery of Art, a public gallery located in Wheeler's Hill. The MGA is currently showcasing two awesome exhibitions, the first of which is named 'TOPSHOTS.' This exhibition is made up of amazing pieces from VCE students, and gives us an insight into some of the serious talent that these students have to offer. The second exhibition focuses on the work of Carol Jerrems. Jerrems' work is renowned as a part of Australian History, and her pieces show people "trying to find a new way of life and action in the 1970's".

"The Yarra River" by Sarah White

 My personal favorite piece of the day, was one i stumbled across in the TOPSHOTS exhibition. The piece is titled "The Yarra River", and was created by VCE Studio Art's student, Sarah White. White describes the river as "a landscape in which reflects the world she lives in", and that in trying to create this image in an innovative way, she opted to present it as a circular panorama.

The Monash Gallery of Art is an awesome gallery containing some amazing pieces, and showcases truly great exhibitions for a gallery that is free to the public. I definitely recommend these exhibitions to anybody with an appreciation for photography, design. Go and check it out while you still can!
