Exhibition | These Fragments

'These fragments I have shored against my ruins.’ – from T.S. Eliot, The Wasteland (1922)

Fragmentation is a fundamental process of the industrialised world, the fragment its chief product. Visual artists often take the fragmentary as a significant form and motif for aesthetic play.

These Fragments assembles collages and other works that collect and configure fragments. Each artwork is self-contained, a whole unto itself, resolved to its creator’s satisfaction. Each artwork is also a fragment, temporarily detached for this exhibition from the growing creature that in large part lives in our storerooms, namely Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery – Toowoomba City Collection.

The Gallery is hosting a Twilight Tour in conjunction with the exhibition on Thursday 18 May at 5.30pm. Phone 131 872 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to book your place.

Exhibition on display 13 May – 27 August
