![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In parts of the Valley, towering stands of Cardon Cactus – some of the largest cacti on Earth – and Elephant Trees, mix with Cirios and other unique desert plants as a ‘forest’, almost a desert jungle. In this new story, Jeannie explores the Valley of the Cirios in Mexico, through the perspective of a young child and his grandfather. Over one-third of the Australian landscape is classified as desert, and yet for most settler Australians, the desert remains a barren space. Jeannie’s vibrant and visually distinct works present a visual narrative that explores the complex biodiversity of the Sonoran Desert. Please RSVP by sending an email to Monday 1 May 5pm. Official opening by Toby Chapman, Director, Visual Arts, Penrith Performing & Visual Arts, will be followed by an In Conversation and Book Signing with Jeannie Baker. Join the exhibition opening of Desert Jungle on 6 May 2pm – 4pm. Co-produced by Penrith Regional Gallery, Home of The Lewers Bequest, this travelling exhibition has been scheduled to align with the publishing of Jeannie’s latest book, also titled Desert Jungle.
