Karen Tacon
‘Seed Thoughts’
An exhibition of message and messenger paintings.

Opening event:
Saturday 4 October at Midday


Sometimes acts of creativity can appear mysterious to the viewer.

‘Meaning’ and ‘intention’ are not always obvious, and the artist can choose to allow the work to speak for itself… or not.

Geelong artist Karen Tacon chooses to leave a trail of crumbs for us to appreciate her images by referring to her inspiration:

“The concept of seed thoughts is derived from the phenomena of orbs or shapes of light that appear in paranormal psychology. Interestingly, Sanskrit refers to these as ‘seed thoughts’. For me, these shapes are pleasing, and offer a vehicle for exploring movement, luminosity and colour harmony.  They give rise to my own thoughts of opening to higher energies and proceeding forward with love, light and hope.”

Now showing

The WIP Shop (Work In Progress)

Over the next 6 weeks, Jo Morris will be in the gallery producing a body of work, based on the Yellow-Tailed Black Cockatoo (Wumberrung).

Working in this public space allows for conversations between artist and visitors, about art process, subject matter, inspiration, materials and any number of art related topics.

The intention is to educate, inform and encourage!

Orchard Street Gallery is a small space with a big heart. We present regularly changing solo and group exhibitions of contemporary Australian art, with a strong commitment to emerging and unrepresented artists, both local and further afield. As practicing artists ourselves, we appreciate those who are inspired by the natural world and protecting our fragile ecosystems for the future.
