Mapping Truth is a collection of woven works by Jayne Newgreen at the Central Goldfields Art Gallery in Maryborough.
This exhibition explores the connections to the places they call home, the landscapes they travel through, and the locations they carry in memory.
Jayne Newgreen lives and works in the Pyrenees Shire and has deep family ties to Maryborough. Using a loom, she has deconstructed and rewoven old paper maps, combining paper yarn with found fibres. From a distance, the works appear as rhythmic, textured surfaces; up close, fragments of familiar locations around Maryborough begin to emerge, inviting viewers to reflect on their own relationship to place.
The Central Goldfields Art Gallery is situated on the traditional lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung. First opened in 1996, the Gallery is located in the historic former Fire Station building built in 1861. Featuring a diverse program of regularly changing exhibitions, including works from the permanent collection, curated exhibitions and touring exhibitions.
