The exhibition brings together the work of four artists, all working in different ways with a variety of media, who are inspired by the splendour of Canberraโ€™s Black Mountain Four Views of Black Mountain is intended to celebrate the unique world found in the very heart of Australiaโ€™s capital. The city surrounds the mountain which is surmounted by the once futuristic Telstra tower. This ambiguous landmark orients the viewer from all cardinal points. 

While the industrial artefacts that surround and punctuate the mountain itself ensure a consciousness of the human presence, the native creatures and plants maintain their existence in a beautiful and complex environment that offers a balm to the turmoil of this decade.
