Temporary exhibition

Creek 53: Portraits of Living Nature

from Mar 24, 2026 to Aug 30, 2026
Redpath museum

Creek 53: Portraits of Living Nature is an exhibition that brings together 53 original watercolour paintings and evocative poetry by Chris Buddle, an artist, poet, writer and scientist. The exhibition celebrates the animals and plant life from the Creek 53 watershed, an area at the heart of ongoing conservation efforts by the Creek 53 Conservancy Trust. 

The exhibition fosters a sense of wonder and curiosity: the accompanying haiku-style poems are accessible yet offer profound insights into the natural histories they reflect. The watercolours mirror this balance, being whimsical, delicate and expressive. Together, these elements create a contemplative and educational experience, offering visitors of all ages an engaging introduction to the beauty and complexity of the natural world.
