VICKI EDMUNDS ARTS AND CULTURE ACTING MANAGER
As we move into the second half of the year, I’m delighted to share the inspiring programming we have in store for our creative community. From exhibitions to events, we continue to celebrate the ingenuity and diversity of artistic practice in our region and beyond.
I’m especially excited to introduce the refreshed format of InSight. In addition to featuring exhibitions and programs at the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre, InSight will now include a broader range of arts and cultural happenings across the Mountains. This includes events at Braemar Gallery, the Blue Mountains Theatre and Community Hub, as well as community initiatives led by our Cultural Development team. While the Cultural Centre remains the core focus, this expanded scope reflects the vibrancy of our arts community throughout the region.
In this edition, we’re proud to present two compelling local exhibitions. Creative Foundations showcases the innovative work of seven artists from The Foundations Portland, an old cement works in regional NSW that’s been reimagined as a vibrant arts precinct.
Following this, The Scales offers an extraordinary look at 25 years of work by the contemporary artist, what. This exhibition features pieces created in the Blue Mountains, including what’s 2019 Doug Moran National Portrait Prize-winning portrait of Robert Forster.
As winter settles over the Mountains, I invite you to step into the warmth of the Cultural Centre, enjoy a coffee, explore the Shop, and immerse yourself in the world-class exhibitions on display.

COMFORT, BY DESIGN OR BY DEFAULT: EBONY WIGHTMAN
4 Oct – 16 Nov
Grounded in authentic community-engaged conversation and process-driven art making, this exhibition serves as an experimental interrogation of cultural safety, intersectionality, and the privilege of ‘Comfort’.
Repositioning ‘Comfort’ as a collective, cultural responsibility, Ebony Wightman will engage with artists and audiences with disability who have felt isolated, disengaged or excluded from the creative communities that should sustain them. Moving beyond critique, these conversations foster future-focused connection, in the hope of creating lasting cultural shifts in the distribution of ‘Comfort’.

THE SCALES: WHAT
11 Oct – 23 Nov
The Scales brings into focus a quarter of a century of contemporary artist what’s practice. This exhibition reflects the artist’s natural state of play, the unity of opposites. Traversing the complexities of both colossal and diminutive paintings, rapid and laborious art making, what employs an expansive range of techniques which bring attention to his transcendent expertise. The Scales contemplates the various modes of measurement which society employs to quantify magnitude and worth. Measuring the ever-expanding universe, the durational repetition of an arts career, and the measurement of human worth through the lens of time/labor.
This exhibition focuses on works made while living in the mountains, including his 2019 Doug Moran National Portrait Prize-winning painting of Robert Forster. A feast for the eyes, a banquet for the mind, The Scales promises to shock and awe.

CREATIVE FOUNDATIONS
Our Artistic Program Leader, Rilka Oakley, chatted to artist and sculptor Harrie Fasher in the lead up to her group exhibition Creative Foundations.
Rilka Oakley: Can you tell me how your relationship with The Foundations started and how has it evolved into what it is today?
Harrie Fasher: The Foundations, formerly the Portland Cement Works, is an extraordinary place. Renown as the town that built Sydney; the elegance of heritage listed industrial architecture, large limestone quarry lakes and regenerated bushland have generated a landscape that is both intriguing and mystifying; a creative’s paradise.
Committed to the Central West NSW; I was looking for a new space where I could build a bronze foundry alongside my sculpture studio; simultaneously The Foundations owners, Martin and Monica O’Connell, had asked the universe for an artist in residence; needless to say, our planets collided!
Over the last five years I have established a monumental studio, built and operate my Portland Foundry, generated creative programming that includes artists in residence, exhibitions, education, the Foundations Mentorship award and local collaborations supporting art and mental health. Building affiliations with institutions such as the National Art School and now a partnership with Arts OutWest.
RO: How has working at this unique location impacted/influenced your practice?
HF: I have the studio of dreams. Anything is possible!
Housed in the former workshop building; Fasher Studios and the Portland Foundry is an inspiring grand space with complete with arched windows, paint bearing the patina of time and equipment required for large scale production. Casting bronze myself allows engagement with every part of the process.
Experiments can be trialled, and accidents embraced rather than thrown back into the melting pot. Space often determines scale of production; setting myself up at The Foundations has meant I have the opportunity to work on several large scale projects simultaneously.
Through my practice I have always mentored a variety of artists; we have recently formalised this with The Foundations Mentorship Award; acknowledging education of studio assistants developing skills that will enhance their practice as well as supporting the work I am producing.
RO: What is the common thread between the exhibiting artists and The Foundations?
HF: The artists in this exhibition have had pivotal roles in my creative trajectory; some standing decades, others particular to the last five years at The Foundations.
All seven artists have made work at The Foundations; contributing to the strength in networks of women and female creatives that I hold so dear. It is noted throughout history the successes of women working together; building community with a very egalitarian structure.
They support, inspire, and protect me in various ways. Working alongside me in full scale production, ensuring that I rejuvenate and refill the creative well; and acting as a sounding board, it is comforting to know that I am not alone!
RO: Have your practices intersected prior to this exhibition.
HF: Working as an artist can be a lonely game. Even if you are surrounded by others the endless creative decision making, motivation and belief lies with you. My practice has intersected with each artist in a variety of ways; I truly believe creative friendships are integral for a strong practice. These relationships generate space for creative dialogue, as well as the unspoken knowing of the risks and rollercoaster that is living your life as an artist.
Kim Fasher, my sister, has always been present as my creative confidant. Years back, I followed her to the National Art School, and now have the opportunity to fully engage with her creative genius! Collaborating for this exhibition, we have made large-scale, brutalist sculptures from the ruins of foundations collected on site. Having Kim working alongside me; making creative decisions and swinging around literally tonnes of concrete and steel has injected energy into my practice at the most perfect time.
COMFORT, BY DESIGN OR BY DEFAULT: EBONY WIGHTMAN
Altitude artist Ebony Wightman had a chat with curator Hayley Zena Poynton about her upcoming exhibition Comfort, by Design or by Default.
Hayley Zena Poynton: Your artist practice centers around the idea of self-acceptance. How does a thematic exploration, rather than material, impact the conception and development of your artworks?
Ebony Wightman: Self-acceptance is something I always come back to in my work, partly because it’s something I’ve had to fight for, and partly because it’s still something I struggle with every day. While many people grapple with selfacceptance, for those of us with disabilities, with different brains and different bodies, the challenge is amplified by a world that was never designed with us in mind. I’ve rarely felt fully accepted in broader society, and even less so in the arts. That’s why, for me, self-acceptance isn’t just personal – it’s political. It’s an ongoing, deliberate act of resistance in the face of systemic ableism. Honestly, if I knew no one would ever see my work, I wouldn’t make it. It would feel like talking out loud in an empty room, and I’ve done enough of that. I don’t create for the sake of it or as a purely personal outlet. For me, it’s always about who’s on the other side, looking in. Aesthetics and material come second. What matters most is who’s encountering the work, and who they’re able to recognise in it. It’s about visibility, connection, and carving out space for people who are so often left out of creative spaces and narratives. My practice is about communication – about shifting perspectives, sparking questions, and challenging assumptions. That’s important to me because, for much of my life, I’ve struggled to express myself. I’ve experienced selective mutism and often found words hard to access. But I’ve never struggled to speak through art. It’s one of the few spaces where I can articulate my lived experience fully and truthfully.
HZP: Comfort, by design or by default, includes recorded conversations from d/Deaf and Disabled creatives who have felt isolated, disengaged or excluded from creative communities. What do you hope to convey to gallery audiences through this medium?
EW: Whatever those people need to say – that hasn’t been acknowledged or listened to. For about ten years, I was housebound because of my disabilities. I wasn’t able to engage with anyone; I was lonely, had no friends or community, and desperately wanted to connect with the arts. I submitted applications for my
work to be shown, and I tried to make connections. But because I wasn’t physically able to step into those spaces, my voice wasn’t heard, valued, or wanted. Even now, when I am able to leave the house and engage with the world, galleries often have no chairs, or if they do, they’re tucked away in a corner or off to the side. I think the placement of chairs and comfortable spaces to sit and view work in galleries directly reflects how people with access needs are seen – either sidelined or non-existent. Earlier I said that I make work with an audience in mind, this work is aimed at the creative sector. Here are these amazing people you are missing out on, let’s find out why and how they can be included. What makes them feel welcomed? How can we change?
HZP: You refer to yourself as a spy – can you demystify this title? Unless it’s top secret of course…
EW: I’m actually just finishing an exhibition at Blacktown Arts, all about my life as a spy – so yes, I definitely take this title seriously. Because nothing says “undercover” quite like loudly announcing it to everyone. But really, it’s just how I see myself. As an autistic person, I’ve spent much of my life as a “spy,” wearing a daily disguise, pretending to be someone I’m not, and trying to fit into spaces that don’t quite fit me. Pattern recognition has been my secret weapon – helping me decode social cues and read expressions that come naturally to neurotypical people. In a way, I’ve become a detective of everyday life, quietly observing and interpreting a world that often feels unfamiliar.

CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT
CREATIVE SPACES
The Cultural Development team is reimagining a range of spaces and venues for artists. We now have an Artist-in-Residence program at the Katoomba Resource Recovery and Waste Management Facility where artists can use a dedicated space and access recycled textiles and green waste. Freelance photographer and regular Waste Facility visitor, Maja Baska, is the next Artist-in-Residence.
Brooke Olsen: Tell us about your residency project One More Spin:
Maja Baska: I have strong feelings of ‘parting’ with items that I can’t find a new use or home for. I would love to explore a way to give people an opportunity to continue the life of their objects one more time before they are recycled. With One More Spin something I hope to explore is the feelings of guilt over what gets thrown out. Also, I find packaging and waste really beautiful, and I am looking forward to taking ‘portraits’ of soft plastics, polystyrene and more.
BO: You have 19 years of photographic experience, how do you balance creative freedom with strategic focus?
MB: This is a chance to take time out and a little step back from a busy commercial photography career. I am looking forward to a different pace of
thinking, slowing down, responding to and observing what happens at the Waste Management Facility.
BO: Is there a discarded object that ‘got away’, something you still find yourself reminiscing about?
MB: I once saw a commercial pie warmer sitting outside the metal recycling section. I had visions of largescale dinner parties with pies on tap. It got snapped up, so I hope whoever got it is living their best hot pie life.
