Download The Visitation Flyer	The Visitation: Mary's three months stay with Elizabeth Paintings and Ceramics by Kerry Holland Pitt Street Uniting Church, 264 Pitt Street, Sydney All are welcome to come and enjoy this beautiful exhibition. Exhibition Dates and Times: Monday – Thursday, Saturdays: 10am – 2pm 4 November – 25 November, 28 November – 23 December 8 January 2024 – 20 January 2024 The Visitation Artist Statement, Kerry Holland 2023 You might have stayed with someone once during a significant event in your life. Luke writes “Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months then returned home”. (1:56) This sentence in The Visitation narrative caught my attention. With paint and clay in a non-figurative, experiential manner, I have considered how that extended time might have been for these two women who each found themselves pregnant by the grace of God, discerning meaning together over an extended time, making food, eating, working, walking and sharing story. I enjoyed the surprise of what emerged as I made art, pondering their situation and the legacy of it, and trusting that the colour, texture and form would speak. Free entry to Exhibition. All works for sale.
