Toowoomba Region artists Angela Mottram and Natasha Wills engage in a visual discussion exploring the current LANDscape in their mixed media exhibition, Missing Title, which is on display at Goombungee’s Rosalie Gallery from March 15 to April 13, 2025.

Created in collaboration, Missing Title uses the landscape genre as a starting place to explore contemporary life in regional Australia.

The artists have allowed process to inform their responses.

The conversation drifts into a broader context of housing insecurity, ownership of land, connections to country, guilt, shame, value, time and space.

Although stylistically different, the ideas of belonging or not belonging, and personal relationships to location run through both bodies of work.

This exhibition encourages the viewer to wonder how two very different artistic styles can speak to the same experience.

Viewers are encouraged to think about difference and diversity but also what we have in common: our shared experience.

Natasha Wills, who studied at Newcastle Art School and Sydney College of The Arts, has exhibited in group and solo exhibitions nationally. Natasha’s practice spans drawing, painting, sculpture, assemblage, textiles and artist books.

Angela Mottram is a multi-discipline artist who is interested in concepts of belonging, interconnections and light.

The exhibition’s Artist Talk starts at the Gallery from 11am on Saturday, March 15, 2025.
