Melbourne-based artist John Cattapan was commissioned by the Australian War Memorial to travel to Timor-Leste as an official war artist with the Australian peacekeeping forces in July 2008.
During last Thursday’s Student Enrichment workshop he showed Murwillumbah High year 12 students some pieces from his ‘Night Vision ’ series. The paintings are showing in the exhibition Perspectives of Time and Place at the Tweed River Gallery until November 13.

Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
