“… to arrive … “ exhibition

Exhibition Dates: 1 Mar 2024 - 16 Mar 2024

The exhibition’s title ‘…to arrive..’ draws from concepts of time, exploration and renewal.

This is a collaborative exhibition of poetry, photography, sculpture and drawings woven into a dance of symbols and forms, put together by Kandos poet Terry Yates and artist Geoff McSkimming.

The title for this exhibition quotes the poet T.S. Eliot:

‘We shall not cease from exploration

And the end of all our exploring  

Will be to arrive at where we started

And know the place for the first time.’

Terry Yates has written poetry for over 50 years and his interest in themes of time and relationships are demonstrated in his 2022 book of poems called, fittingly (“to arrive…”).

Amongst its other symbols, this exhibition uses a biplane, initially stranded on the moon, as a motif of travel, journeying and arrival.

Geoff McSkimming’s works mirror the poetic narrative of Terry Yates in a language of 2D/3D material choices, combinations – and titles.
