An official opening will take place on Sunday, July 3 from 1pm to 3pm to coincide with National NAIDOC Week that runs from July 3-10.

The opening will include and address by the artist and guests will be treated with some traditional Aboriginal foods.

"Western time and imagery, from the period of the renaissance, is linear and attempted to replicate reality in photo-realistic fashion," Djon said.

"Lines in a composition pointed to an end; the 'vanishing point' in the distance. Aboriginal time is cyclical; a set of horizontal lines followed by another set off parallel lines read back and forth, successively off into the distance."

Djon said he hoped to inform people on the local landscape prior to British colonisation and show the existing multi-cultural society already in the Southern Highlands at the time.

"There were Aboriginal societies in what is now the Southern Highlands. God is everywhere and in everything. Aboriginal people are everywhere and do everything. Aboriginal beliefs are a form of pantheism; that is, the belief that reality is identical with divinity, or that all things compose an all-encompassing, immanent god; equating god with the forces and laws of the universe."

His works strive to give the view an idea of that pantheistic relationship carried by Aboriginal people to the environment including the Wingecaribee, Wollondilly, and Nattai Rivers, or Mittagong Railway Station.

He said despite Western industrialisation over of the past 200 years, Aboriginal spirit remains intrinsically linked to the lands.

"Time, scarred in horizontal lines marking both land and body, could be spent on reading of 'the scriptures', so to speak, through repetitive chanting, songs, and cyclical mimetic dances in a form of social temporal performance. A vision and presence of 'god' could be found and experienced in the meditation on nature; the coming and going of seasons, the rise and fall and flows of waters, and the patterns formed by these natural forces."

Both rooms of the Fundamental gallery will be used for the exhibit where Djon says he has captured an 'abstracted-spiritual landscape'.

The Gallery acknowledges the Southern Tablelands Arts and the Country Arts Support Program.

Everyone is invited to join in for the opening event from 1-3pm on Sunday, with the exhibition showing Friday through to Monday each week 10am to 5pm until August 1.
