FRONT GALLERY TOI ET MOI Toi et moi considers the reciprocal nature of painting: to see and be seen, bringing together a body of work about love, looking, and the tradition of the artist’s muse. Toi, my partner, is a recurring presence, appearing in domestic spaces and everyday encounters. The act of painting inevitably brings moi into the space as well, in what is noticed, organised and romanticised. Dwelling in the ordinary realities of intimacy, this observation extends towards still life, finding affection in the familiar objects we attach meaning to. Where seeing and feeling are inseparable, the works ultimately reflect on what it means to look through love.

BACK GALLERY WOODEN IT BE NICE A designer and his scroll saw explore a world of wooden wizards, silly sorcerers and magical idiots. Do mages get drunk after too many potions? Can a worm be a wizard if he has a nice cape? What if a conjurer conjured creatine to create a concentrated core? In Wooden It Be Nice Matthew Wong answers these questions, with a combination of spray paint, woodworking and bad hairstyles.

SIDE GALLERY SHE’S FULL OF RAGE Erin Bussell, Lauren Elizabeth and Anabelle Stonehouse present sculptures that confront the emotional and physical turmoil of feminine rage. The artworks explore themes of horror, eroticism, beauty, and anger. Using both traditional and unconventional techniques in ceramics and surface decoration, the artists push the boundaries of their material to evoke the emotions that come with lived experience, trauma and injustice. In the creation of the exhibition, the artists experienced a cathartic release of their feminine rage which naturally became embodied in their processes. The girly shades of pink on the feminine folds and curlicues may appear pretty and docile, but upon closer inspection one might discover the grotesque and erotic details in the artworks. Bussell, Elizabeth and Stonehouse hope to engage viewers to consider their own perception of how femininity and anger coincide, particularly within the context of gender inequality. .

UPSTAIRS GALLERY LIVING TOGETHER A celebration of the life and worlds unfolding within my garden, neighbourhood and community. Part exhibition, part nature journal, part research project, these works explore the beauty of everyday encounters with the botanical world. Floral still life, garden scenes, botanical shows and ceramic forms document the abundance, diversity and fleeting rhythms of a season. Each work is an act of looking closely, preserving a moment in time and honouring the quiet connections between people and plants. My garden is a place of sanctuary and restoration, cultivated to be enjoyed by all who pass.
