Lauren O'Connor
Two Moons 7 - 30 March 2024 Lauren O’Connor’s practice reminds us that the natural world is in constant flux, re-affirmed in each painting to the point of mantra.

Danelle Bergstrom
Entwined 2 - 25 March 2023 When I visit Danelle Bergstrom's Hill End studio in July 2020, it is raining, and the village is washed in a misty haze.

James Ettleson
Rubik's 2 - 23 February 2023 On the surface, James Ettelson’s work has always been a celebration of colour where intricate detailed patterns and visual motifs invite the viewer to experience his everyday life and the ways in which he sees the world around him.

Robyn Sweaney
Living on the Edge 21 September - 15 October 2022 I don’t think Robyn Sweaney and I are the only people who harbour an emotional connection to the humble working and lower middle class homes of the immediate post-War period. Whether it’s nostalgia or an affection for their unassuming regionalist modernism, they retain an enduring interest. Ironically, these modest, free-standing... Read more

While celebrating the profundity of the land, she also considers... Read more -
Michaye Boulter & Jon Eiseman
Cusp 1 - 19 December 2020 Having spent her life on the sea, Michaye Boulter explores the reciprocity between landscapes and the human psyche. Devoid of human imprint, Boulter’s virginal vistas engage with the traditions of colonial painting to critically question the idea(l) of discovery. These pristine unpeopled scenes appear as revenant visions from a time... Read more

Joshua Yeldham
Providence 6 - 21 November 2020 Providence, one meaning of the word is good fortune. Another is nature’s ability to yield an abundance of spiritual solace. In Joshua Yeldham’s garden there is a tree.
