Life Story

September 19th 2025 at Lismore’s Serpentine Gallery saw the exhibition opening of a joint collaboration with Meg K Nielsen and fellow local artist Sylvan Myst…Beau Ravn’s alter ego.

His “Life Story” was a fascinating multi disciplinery arts event, two years in the making and beautifully sharing the passion with Meg’s “Wayfarer …wandering the wild”: her paintings & drawings capturing images from a lifetime wandering wild places where Nature is undisturbed by human activity & the wild is free to Be.

The Beings of Nature … seen & unseen.

Sacred havens of solitude & tranquillity to retreat from the noise & chaos; the mind free to wander & fly, seeking realignment.

A wayfarer finding the way within….exploring the intertwined.

SEEKING THE SYMBIOCENE

An exhibition of works by Meg Nielsen & Peter Nielsen, presenting their paintings, drawings, & photography in conjunction with objects found, restored, recycled & created during their journey through life…… celebrating the Earth & resolutely Seeking the Symbiocene.

We have invited Terri Nicholson to join us with some of her exquisite Nature loving pyrography work & sculptures … a sneak preview of her exhibition next year.

We hope you can join us at the Serpentine Community Gallery, Opening Friday 1st Nov 2024 from 5.30– 8.30pm. The wonderful Terri Nicholson will serenade us with her beautiful songs followed by the awesome Black Train.

The Symbiocene will be that period in Earth’s history where humans symbiotically re-integrate themselves, emotionally, psychologically & technologically into nature & natural systems….utterly rejecting the current destructive despotism of the Anthropocene. (Glenn Albrecht 2011)

Of course there’ll be the usual nibbles, & wines by Serpentine Gallery. And the delicious Authentic South Indian Cuisine will also be available.
