TERRA MOTION
Clifton School of Arts is proud to present Terra Motion, a joint exhibition by Ashley Frost and Hal Pratt, opening Thursday 28 August and running through Sunday 7 September 2025.
“Inspired by the Wodi Wodi Track, named after the original custodians of the Illawarra, this escarpment features the Sydney Basin’s most extensive rainforest and provides a vital refuge for wildlife. Rising 500 metres above Thirroul, it spans 200 million years of geological history, offering both dramatic beauty and a deep sense of place.”
