The Crows Nest Regional Art Gallery warmly invites you to the Opening Event for our new exhibition by Dr Julie Rees – A Series of Predicted Events and Peculiar Statements.

“Conceptually driven, A Series of Predicted Events and Peculiar Statements (2017), draws inspiration from cassette and digital recordings of psychic readings held between 1993 and 2013. The works in this series offer allegorical interpretations of accurate predictions that came to fruition and statements that resonated with me. Overall, the series invites the viewer to reflect on their life sequences and to consider whether some aspects of our lives are pre-determined or simply a creation of our own making.” Julie Rees
