And then…  attempts to identify key points in the trajectory of Penny Mason’s practice to show how seemingly large jumps have emerged from almost imperceptible shifts over time. Placed side by side, the earliest and the most recent works in this show are vastly different, yet the progression of work from Mason’s first exhibition at the George Paton gallery in 1977 until today suggests a more gradual change. And then… explores this unfolding development, looking for evidence of a logical progression defined by a consistent sensibility. The exhibition questions and defines the extent to which each new development emerges from a sustained interest in the material expressiveness of process-based making.  

And then… is presented as part of the Academy Gallery X - Factor Exhibition Program. The X - Factor Exhibition Program aims to promote the artwork created by mid to established career Tasmanian artists.
