‘Bridle Track, Hill End’ was jointly commissioned by Bathurst Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) and the Bathurst Regional Art Gallery Society to celebrate 50 years of fundraising.
Handwoven at the Australian Tapestry Workshop by Chris Cochius, Sue Batten, Amy Cornall, Pamela Joyce and Karlie Hawking, ‘Bridle Track, Hill End’ will be the centrepiece of ‘Threads through Art: Australian Artist Tapestries’, an exhibition of tapestries at BRAG from 18 October to 1 December 2019.
Sciberras, who resides in Hill End, New South Wales, has an active connection to the Bathurst region. Sciberras describes his locale as an ‘enormous no-mans-land of common and crown land, abandoned farms; where the Macquarie and Turon rivers meet, the road rises and falls from the crossings and causeways as dramatically as a roller coaster’. This tapestry explores Sciberras’ deep connection to place through the interpretation of an expressive watercolour landscape.
