AN exhibition by local artists Jamie Ferguson (paintings), Janna Scott (photography) and Annabelle Hayes (mixed media) is on display at Euroa’s Sheila Gallery.
The exhibition is open every day from 10am to 3pm until October 26.
Violet Town’s Jamie Ferguson said he is pleased with how the exhibition has come together.
“The colours go quite well,” he said.
“The grittiness of the Janna’s is complemented by the more gentle poetry of some of Annabelle's, and I might lie somewhere in between.”

The exhibition is named “At Least We’re Still Dancing (Fragments).”
“Janna thought of the title,” Mr Ferguson explained.
“[It] was a positive title… so, I just brought in some works that were joyous, but fragmented.
“Even though there's some creepiness in [Janna’s] photos, there's a bit of joy seeing the beauty in old, dilapidated things.”
Ms Scott, who lives in Longwood, described her photography style as realist and said the exhibited works had themes of “desolation, abandonment and past lives, loves and dreams”.
She said the catalogue was not tailormade for the exhibition, but she overlaid text on the photos specifically for the exhibition.
The text over photos style was inspired by Gary Winogrand.
Ms Hayes, who lives in Strathbogie, described the practice and intention behind her mixed media artworks.
“My practice often involves a laborious process focused on repeated actions,” she said.
“Ideas are revisited, and through the prolonged act of creation and to me, their meanings evolve.
“The viewer may either immediately connect with the text, as the answer is right in front of them making the work accessible, or they may take time to fully absorb it, encouraging deeper reflection.”
