The Tiny Honorable Gallery celebrates one artist, one artwork once a month. The month of June invited artist Helle Jorgensen who has exhibited nationally and internationally with her incredible labour intensive works. The featured work is titled ‘The Forest Floor’ and is comprised of en masse small woven objects. Rune Richardson (co-curator of TTHGallery) could not pass up the opportunity to include a sound piece to accompany this work due to it’s theme, it begged for an added layer of forest sounds. With Helle’s permission and entrusting her with the task of seeking ourt a soundscape. Rune approached Matt and Cameron (Seaworthy) in regards to their work was warmly received. This has resulted in this beautiful organic enhanced experience to incorporate visual and sound for our audience through their collaboration.

Gaining a reputation for being experimental, unusual, inclusive and immersive TTHGallery is creating a culture of presence and appreciation where it can, in small bite sized moments. For one hour each month a curated event (unveiling of the new artwork/artist) which is always a secret, takes place in The Honorbread courtyard, Bermagui NSW where the outdoor weatherproof gallery frame/case is located. This months morning soiree was particularly moving. It was limited to 8 places only, first in best dressed. Each participant arrived to a set of headphones which featured an environmental soundscape generosly provided by Seaworthy (Cameron Webb) and Matt Rosner. These recordings were comprised primarily of environmental sounds recorded on the NSW South Coast and included some of the recordings made during their stay at Bundanon. This recording was for the one off immersive purposes of the opening and we are deeply grateful for their generosity in sharing raw field recordings from our precious Australian landscape. Our openings are always phone and photography free zones. It is rare these days to not capture such events and happenings, but this is what is at the core foundational values of The Tiny Honorable Gallery. We provide immersive moments in time that honor and respect each others privacy, expression and space, we provide the opportunity to switch off and connect.

Snowmelt is a record by Australian artists Seaworthy (aka Cameron Webb) and Matt Rösner, the follow up from their 2010 collaboration Two Lakes (12k1062).

Snowmelt asks the question, “What does climate change sound like?” Recorded during two field trips to Kunama Namadgi (Mount Kosciuszko), the record compares and contrasts the physical shifts in the region’s flora, fauna and landscapes brought upon by the changes in season that occur at higher altitudes. The Australian alpine regions are increasingly stressed by the effects of climate change. Rising temperatures and more frequent extreme weather events add to pressure mounting on the delicate ecosystems in this region from physical disturbance and pollution, feral animals, bush fires, and droughts. *3
