‘The Sugar Mill: Real and Imagined’
paintings and sculptures by Michael Maleedy

Can anyone drive up the Tweed Valley and not be drawn to the majestic Condong Sugar Mill in the distance billowing out fluffy white steam?
This intriguing exhibition examines the Mill that we see today, then travels to the realm of the imagined.
Michael brings to life in papier mache sculptures the fantastical creatures that have evolved in the netherworld of the forgotten recesses of the Mill.
But there is more. Did you know the Mill we see today, which was built in 1880, was not the first sugar mill to be built in the Tweed Valley?
Michael uncovers the astonishing story of an earlier Dutch mill built in the late 17th century on the banks of the Tweed River that extracted sugar from Saccharum Australis, a mythical sweet tuber now extinct.
This playful exhibition that will delight everyone.
