Salient is a touring exhibition developed by New England Regional Art Museum and King Street Gallery, Sydney, comprising works created by 12 leading Australian artists in response to the history and present-day reality of the World War 1 battlefields of the Western Front.

Terry Burrows: Objectivity includes minimal-palette abstract paintings, photographs and line drawings created over by the artist over the past decade.

On show in the gallery foyer is A Movable Feast by Blackheath-based glass artist Keith Rowe.

This exhibition covers several decades of his practice, beginning with early works like Egg I and Egg II through to more recent creations like Window Murrine Orange where he uses the murrine glass making technique to create a beautiful and vibrant array of colours and patterns shown in cross-section.

Keith’s practice is influenced by the world around him.

“In life there is so much to absorb,” he says.

“Looking for new ideas, I feel like a sponge soaking it all up … I draw inspiration from life as it passes, I taste – and at times gorge upon – the complex and simple nature that surrounds.”

Keith makes production glass and one-off pieces for exhibition from his Blackheath studio in the Blue Mountains.

He has been working there since 1990 after finishing his studies in photography and glass at Sydney College of the Arts in 1981.
