Apprehendsion

Apprehendsion is an exhibition of recent paintings by Leigh Schoenheimer that are based on her research into the flora and fauna of south-east Queensland and northern New South Wales, including elements that are both endangered and endemic, native and invasive.

These bright, multi-panelled works bring together the artist’s longstanding interest in painting as a way of seeing with her ecological anxiety and concerns about the impact of colonisation on the local natural environment.
