Feature Exhibition: Impressions
2024-04-27 09:00 - 17:00, 2024-04-28 09:00 - 17:00 | Nautilus Art Centre, 66 Tasman Terrace, Port Lincoln, South Australia, 5606, Australia
SALT Festival 2024 Feature Exhibition, Impressions, where the artistic Journeys of Belle Stanley and Beth Hammond converge, inviting you to explore the boundless wonders of nature and the dynamic interplay of colour and memory.
Beth’s work draws inspiration from diverse sources, from a landscape sketch in paint or pencil, the memory of being in the bush on a particular day or a roadtrip through the Australian landscape. Exploring a range of colour combinations and with different sizes and types of surfaces from acrylic perspex, canvas and board.
Belle’s creative process is inspired by her deep love of wandering around in nature, from the remote endless beaches around the EP to following kangaroo trails through the scrub, this is the beginning of the process for all her work. Belles work explores the different shapes and textures she finds in nature, and drawing from her knowledge of silversmithing techniques, she captures the essence and beauty of the EP in her work.

Jen Lush: Hum Of The Mettle
2024-04-27 20:30 - 22:30 | Port Lincoln Brewing Co., 28 London Street, Port Lincoln, South Australia, 5606, Australia
First commissioned by the Denmark Festival of Voice, WA, Hum Of The Mettle is nine songs crafted around contemporary poetry. Featuring the words of five of Australia’s leading poets, it crosses through the urban and desert terrain of Australia with poems that speak of love and desolation, loss and memory, the resilience of country and the stories held within it.
Created in collaboration with poets (Ali Cobby Eckermann, Maria Zajkowski, Kevin Brophy, Renee Pettitt-Schipp, Graham Kershaw) and Jen’s stellar band (James Brown, Paul Angas, Sam Cagney, Mark Seddon) they form a dynamic range from epic 70’s rock soundscapes, sudden storms of explosive pop, driving indie folk-rock and whispering, sparse ballads that build to cathartic crescendos with storytelling always at the centre.

“There is an intimacy here, a sharing of secrets.. brilliantly executed, thoroughly engaging, and utterly beautiful.” Broadway World
“An enchanting, otherworldly experience for listeners.” Beat Magazine
