On Wednesday, children and adults took to four separate workshops led by artist Catherine O'Donnell, one of the artists behind Hardenvale, an interactive 'life-sized house' currently on display at Bathurst Regional Art Gallery [BRAG].
"We designed this as a public program for all ages to create a picture of their own home or their own interpretation of certain landmarks around Bathurst," Ms O'Donnell said.
"The children have really enjoyed creating their own unique interpretations of architecture, and even adults have enjoyed trying to convey local landmarks as accurate as possible."
With many participants choosing to use their own homes as a source, Ms O'Donnell said the project complements the Hardenvale exhibition, which invites participants to add their own interpretation of "home".
"Hardenvale is everybody's home and nobody's home, so it's been a pleasure to bring an attribute of the exhibition out into the public," she said.
The works will be on display in the Bathurst Library forecourt until next Tuesday.
