Perhaps it is in a vast landscape, or a personal experience.
In Catherine Truman's case, it's often what she sees through the microscope.
Cowra Regional Art Gallery is pleased to present the 'must-see' Catherine Truman: no surface holds, a major touring exhibition and part of The JamFactory Icon series, opening at 2.30pm Saturday, August 24.

Launched in 2013 as a series of solo exhibitions the Icon series celebrates the achievements of outstanding and influential craft and design practitioners based in South Australia.
This exhibition will be the first time that Catherine Truman's collaborative practice with artists and scientists is presented as a whole.
Ms Truman will present an intriguing and diverse solo show of objects, installation, images and film including several brand new works.
With a 35-year practice that covers public artworks to intricate carvings, she has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally and is represented in a number of major national and international collections including the Coda-museum in the Netherlands, the Museum of Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing and the National Gallery of Australia, to name a few.
Last year her carvings and jewellery were the subject of a major survey exhibition shown at Art Gallery of South Australia.
A public event will also be held in conjunction with the launch with attendees able to meet the artist and enjoy a floor talk by Catherine Truman herself at 1.30pm.

This will be followed by the exhibition opening with guest speaker Anne Brennan, artist, writer and honorary visiting fellow at the Centre for Art History and Art Theory at the ANU School of Art speaking.
All are welcome and admission is free.
Previous Icon series exhibitions presented by the Cowra Regional Art Gallery have celebrated the creative careers of Stephen Bowers in 2014 and Gerry Wedd in 2018.
The Catherine Truman: no surface holds, exhibition will run until September 22.
