GALLERY 2
Babette Robertson
cover image: We are watching the trees in the old campsite at night, as if we are spectators of a film. Then someone pulls out a painting I did and asks what it is. It’s dark with super bright lights in the sky. Like the northern lights - but also artificial. There are some fields in the foreground of the painting but when we look at them they disappear and are replaced by the same eucalyptus trees we are looking at in the campsite. The painting is supposed to be a bushfire but no one believes me (detail) 2026 water-based pigment and oil on linen 130 x 162 cm

Lismore Regional Gallery is a creative initiative of the Lismore City Council supported by the New South Wales Government through Create NSW and the Friends of the Gallery. The Gallery acknowledges the Widjabul Wia-bal people of the Bundjalung Nation as the traditional owners of the land upon which the gallery stands. We pay respects to elders past, present and emerging and extend that respect to all First Nations cultures and their contributing connection to land, waters, community and the arts.
