A studio release of eight hessian boxes by Terri Brooks

A Yarra Bend Gallery production



Each box was photographed in situ to enhance the context and architectural influences for the work.

Installation 


Catalogue of works



When installing the works I was reminded of one of my favourite buildings, Le Corbusier's Chapelle Notre-Dame du Haut at Ronchamp, France. Hence the collection title of 'Windows'.
