How Yesterday Remembers Tomorrow casts a selective gaze upon a number of artists who have been recipients of the Helen Lempriere Travelling Art Scholarship. Through inviting some of the previous recipients of the scholarship to present an earlier work alongside one of their most current works the exhibition attempts to reflect upon how an art practice shifts and changes over time. Such developments may involve the adoption of new media and the integration of new research interests to address evolving concerns. Within this constantly shifting process many other elements might be abandoned and forsaken as other ideas and directions gain traction. The framework of this project is to present how the relegation and culmination of creative tendencies might manifest within the relationship between two works from different periods within an artist’s oeuvre.
