EYE SPY

SOLO SHOW - KYOGLE ROXY GALLERY

NOVEMBER 8 - DECEMBER 9 2017

Jenny's latest solo exhibition 'Eye Spy' was shown in November/December at the Roxy Gallery. This small local gallery is a wonderful asset to the town of Kyogle and has been exhibiting the work of local artists for around twenty years. Jenny's exhibition 'Eye Spy' exhibited artworks which alluded to the different ways in which we can view the world, especially when we enhance our focus by using artificial viewing devices such as magnifying glasses and binoculars. Showing in an adjacent space was the exhibition 'Eclectic Mix' with work by Deborah and Rodney Brown.
