*Enduring Ground* by Pip Stalley, an exhibition in BAMM’s Stairwell Gallery program, is a cohesive body of work developed from sustained observation of grazing land in Western New South Wales. Using restrained abstraction and natural earth pigments, the works explore landscape as surface, structure and atmosphere. Stairwell Gallery The Stairwell Gallery at BAMM is a new exhibition initiative activating the gallery’s internal stairwell as a curated exhibition space, open to independent artists and collectives. The Stairwell Gallery supports independent artistic practice and offers artists the opportunity to present work within the everyday flow of the museum, where art is encountered as part of a journey rather than a destination. Artist: Pip Stalley, *Enduring Ground*

Jo Norton is an artist based in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, working on Bundjalung Country. Her practice includes small porcelain vessels, stoneware forms, and site-specific installations. Using contemporary forms, she produces a body of work that comes together through two approaches: one developed within her emerging wood firing practice, and the other through alternative firing techniques. Together, these works tell a shared story through surface, process and material. Both bodies of work are co-authored by fire. Operating at different scales and tempos, fire asserts its agency in both works. The work positions fire not simply as a tool, but as an active participant whose actions—erasure, marking and transformation—convert material processes into records of memory. Artist: Jo Norton

From the week after the referendum, Gamilaroi artist Penny Evans began a major body of text-based stoneware wall work as a response to the recent referendum in Australia (Oct 2023) asking to enshrine an Indigenous voice to parliament in the constitution, which was comprehensively voted down. The work was completed in January 2024. IN Black & White comprises 87 black and white stoneware hanging pieces with forms referencing boomerangs, shields, coolamons, colonial platters, plates. The series speaks directly to ‘white settler colonial Australians’ whose descendants make up twenty percent of our population. Says the artist, “The truth telling process in my opinion, is integral to black and white in Australia recovering from the legacies of, and ongoing genocidal and ecocidal occupation here.” Artists: Penny Evans

*Let’s party like it’s 1815* by Joan Ross is a digital artwork that colourfully critiques the legacy of the colonisation of Australia. The fantastic eight-minute animation unfolds wittily as a tableau of greed. The ultimate separation from nature: self-interest, lack of care, possession, ownership, mansions, silverware, violent festivities toasting over ‘their land’; blow flies, bees and much, much more. All of the trappings of a culture of overconsumption spinning around and finally returning to the Earth. Artist: Joan Ross

Melissa Spratt is a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). A trait identified in 1996 by psychologist Elaine Aron, HSP’s experience extra-ordinary bodily and emotional responses to a variety of emotional and sensory stimuli. In *SENSITISED & SENTIMENTAL* Spratt uses finger-knitted wool, a fibre which can both soothe and irritate, to elucidate the experience of being an HSP. In bold capitals and high value colours, Spratt shares short statements and longer, stream of consciousness style phrases conveying the flood of emotions and thoughts she endures as an HSP. Summary written by Bree Di Mattina Artists: Melissa Spratt

The Bleakley Collection First Nations objects is an exhibition of objects and artworks that are part of BAMM’s Collection. Collected by Robert Bleakley during his tenure as Head of Tribal Art at Sotheby’s in the 1970s, this significant collection of Aboriginal objects offers a rare opportunity to engage with the material culture of First Nations communities from across Australia. Comprising carved tools, ceremonial objects and early examples of cultural exchange, many of the objects were originally taken to Britain by colonial travellers as 'souvenirs'.  The collection invites critical reflection on histories of collection, displacement and the enduring cultural knowledge embodied in each object.  First Nations objects, Robert Bleakley Collection

Attitudes Revisited John A. Williams In 2001 John A. Williams, who grew up in Moree, produced *Attitudes*, a series of portraits showing well-known Moree personalities in their typical surrounds – sitting rooms, on the front veranda, or on the back steps. Each of the 16 photographs is accompanied by a short autobiography, responding largely to the sitters’ experiences of inter-racial relationships and attitudes in Moree. Their stories evoke memories of a different time yet highlight social issues still faced in many rural towns today. Exhibited in Moree in 2016, *Attitudes* now graces the gallery walls once again in *Attitudes Revisited*. Artist: John A. Williams

*Between Peaks and Silence* gathers Frank Hurley’s rare, luminous studies of place —where land becomes theatre and stillness becomes sound. From the Warrumbungles’ ancient ridgelines to the Blue Mountains’ shadowed caves, from the Derwent’s slow water to Urama Island’s village architecture, Hurley frames each scene with a patient eye for scale, texture and hush. In Antarctica, crevasses open like chapters—beauty edged with risk—reminding us how quickly terrain can turn. Shown together for the first time in more than 30 years, these photographs invite you to look longer: to follow the light, listen for quiet, and feel the world’s vastness in a single image.  Artist: Frank Hurley

*Elsewhere: Beyond the Moree Plains* is an invitation to look outward — across distance, memory and Country — to landscapes shaped by lives lived elsewhere. Presented alongside *From This Place*, the exhibition traces a quiet expansion from the local to the distant, from here to beyond. Artist: Ken Done, Sally Gabori, Eubena Nampitjin, Norman Kelly Tjampitjinpa, Judy Cassab, Elisabeth Cummings, Jonathan Kumintjara Brown, George Mung Mung, Ginger Wikilyiri and others.

From This Place explores how Moree has been interpreted through contemporary artistic practice over the past five decades. The exhibition brings together works that respond to landscape, memory and lived experience, revealing shifting ways artists have engaged with this place over time. Some works are shaped by direct encounters with Moree, while others reflect longer relationships with its environment and stories. Artists: Joe Furlonger, Lucy Culliton, Luke Sciberas, Euan MacLeod, Margaret Adams, Jim Stanley, Beverley Budgen, Breast Plates of King and Queen Billy and Maggie Barlow and Lawrence Leslie.
