Hand-made, small-batch & sustainable food and design from the Victorian Goldfields —
Fossickers Fine Food & Eatery is an espresso, wine bar, store and art space [The Folk Experiment] located in the tiny heritage town of Talbot in the Victorian Goldfields known as Djarra, the unceded lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung, whose living culture has endured for thousands of years. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
THE FOLK EXPERIMENT
ART EXHIBITIONS
EMMA ROSE
YOU ARE THE ONE
16 MAY - 29 JUNE
Emma Rose explores sacred geometry, words, nature, and spirituality through hand-drawn artwork. Her work reflects a journey of inner discovery, inspired by sacred scriptures and poetry.
Each piece, from intricate mandalas to geometric patterns, serves as both a prayer and meditation—an offering of intention. Every line, curve, and colour is chosen for its energetic resonance, with metallic watercolours and pens on coloured paper bringing the work to life.
Inspired by ancient teachings and the healing energy of nature, Emma seeks to guide viewers toward deeper connection, offering a meditative space for growth, healing, and reflection.
EXHIBITION OPENING: MAKING MANDALAS
SATURDAY, 31 MAY FROM 2PM
Join Emma to view the exhibition and participate in a short ceremony to create a natural mandala in the community garden.
Please bring an item to contribute to the installation, a stone, shell, twig, leaf or flower.
