Landscape and Meaning

Both Banks Vineyard, Kingower

Anthony Butt, Milton Moss

The drama of a stormy sky. The contrasts of shapes, colours colliding and constantly changing. Near and far, our vision challenged to find meaning shaped by our sense of history, captured within a frame, a detail within the whole. Milton Moss’s photographs feature dramatic formations of light and fast moving clouds, particularly from around the Moolort Plains and Joyces Creek region. He also uses these images as  inspiration for his evocative landscape paintings. In the Tasting Room of Both Banks Vineyard, Milton’s photography, alongside Wedderburn photographer Anthony Butt’s arresting images, invite you to look, and look again; it’s an exhibition full of warmth, vitality and meaning.
