CAPTURED BY COLOUR – An Exhibition

Fremantle Art Centre 

Sept 20 to Oct 26 2025

10am to 5pm daily
Captured by Colour promises an all-absorbing experience that will wrap you in the warm embrace of Western Australia’s unique, natural, colour palette.
From seed to colour to textile art, this collection is the living legacy of organic knowledge acquired over decades of a truly creative life.
The exhibition is the culmination of Trudi Pollard’s extensive work. It is the harvest of wisdom from life’s experience and an introduction to the magic and mysteries of the colours and abundance of inspiration and creativity that nature provides.
Everything you see in this space has been donated by Mother Nature and masterfully crafted by Trudi into a stunning visual representation of the colours, patterns and harmonies occurring naturally every day in WA. This is our reminder to stop and look…
Every exhibition or piece of art needs an explanation, a story. In Trudi’s case a simple artist statement will not suffice. The source of the creativity and knowledge driving Trudi’s life’s work is to be found during WW2, deep in the Indonesian jungle. That’s why Captured by Colour the exhibition is just part one of Trudi’s tribute to colour. Part two is the soon to be released book, Captured by Colour, Trudi’s gift back to the natural world that shaped and saved her life.
“I feel a sense of responsibility to pass on this baton of knowledge to others who are following in my footsteps.” Trudi
