Kate Gorringe-Smith - The Overwintering Project

Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery

Kate Gorringe-Smith sees migratory birds as a metaphor embodying human migration and the search for home and safety. She reveals how she learnt printmaking on Fred Williams’ printing press at school and went on to study printmaking at RMIT. Discover how working at BirdLife Australia influenced her art and the genesis for the Overwintering Project. Kate also discusses how the AGL proposal at Western Port was recently overturned and how the exhibition is a celebration rather than a requiem for this internationally significant site.
