Ross Creek Gallery proudly presents Pedestrianism, an exhibition by Emily Van Der Molen.

Artists Statement:

"Pedestrianism is an antidote to the frenetic hectic noise of contemporary life.

When I prioritise my daily neighbourhood walks I am deliberately resisting the cult of productivity and a pervasive sense of not-enough-ness.

My walks are a practice in observation and reflection. A celebration of magic within the mundane. An exercise in being rather than doing.

These works document the joy, solace, curiosity and quiet I find along the way.

They are an ode to slow moments."

During this exhibition the gallery will be open Saturday and Sunday 11-4pm and by appointment outside of these days. If you would like to book an appointment please email.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
