Recently, we've heard that a number of Tom Bass Sculpture Studio School students and teachers had the opportunity to get themselves out to Orange to see the just closed exhibition Laurence Edwards: A Gathering of Uncertainties, which showed at the Orange Regional Gallery. The exhibition which was developed in partnership with Messums Wiltshire and was a culmination of 10 years of work by British sculptor Laurence Edwards. It was the first comprehensive survey of Edwards’ work to be shown in Australia, offering a rare encounter with one of the UK’s leading figurative artists.
