The 25 artworks ranged from a selection of painting, drawing, printmedia, assemblage, textiles and ceramics by established Fremantle practitioners.
“Fertile Soil focuses upon the core strengths of the collection, in particular the established generation of makers who call Fremantle their home.” – Andre Lipscombe
