Over 70 works including prints, artist’s books, sketchbooks and printing plates from across Peter Kingston’s career are on display, in a moving tribute to the late artist.
Peter Kingston (1943–2022) lived and worked at the edge of Sydney Harbour. After a childhood spent at Parsley Bay, he settled in Lavender Bay among a community of artists and friends. From there, he observed harbour ferries, Luna Park and the Sydney Opera House in all seasons and weather. These were the subjects of his work, often incorporating his boat, the MV Anytime, and his dogs.
Kingston’s output ranged across drawing, printing, painting and filmmaking. A passion for Sydney, for environmental conservation and the preservation of built heritage never left him. Joyful, charming, and with a wry humour, his work celebrates the everyday aspects of our city. Yet there is a bittersweet element to his work. Peter Kingston often talked about ‘time as an artist’, his way of recognising the beauty and value that accumulates with age. His work captures things at risk in a world that is always upgrading, and expresses a nostalgic yearning for those places and characters now lost.

This library is so well equipped!!! I end up going there every day📚💛
Aside from being able to borrow books, there&#39;s also study and work space, presentation practice space, printing, a cafe, and more...
And there&#39;s even a fully-equipped exhibition space✨✨
By the way, the exhibits seem to change depending on the period.
What is this all-inclusive library!! 😭
By the way, there&#39;s also plenty of WiFi.
Use it for both sightseeing and everyday use😂💕

If you are visiting Sydney for the first time, you must visit it to understand the entire structure and see the concert hall and opera house inside. If you have the opportunity to visit Sydney again in the future, you must watch a musical or listen to a symphony. It is worth buying.

The zoo with a very good view is very good. You can see many native Australian animals. There are also different activities in the park at different times. It is very close to the downtown area of Sydney. It takes more than ten minutes to take a boat from the ring pier. It is suitable for a family or traveling with children.

How to live, come to the, always have to sit, but it is an ordinary cable car is very steep but the speed is very slow, there will be no weightlessness. It is recommended to play this project first after coming. After going down, you can turn around on the trail of the mountain road. It will not be very hard.
