VAST & VIVID
8-19 February 2023 – Impress Printmakers Studio & Gallery
modern society is structured around demands on our attention. apps designed to connect us via the palm of our hand tap into our reward centres, train us to constantly seek the next reward and transform us into the product, within the new economy of attention. the act of stepping away from the screen and embracing the vastness and vividness of reality has become an act of rebellion.

Hello, From ___
7pm 12 November 2021 – BackDock Arts
Combining the fragility and steadfast nature of visual and auditory mediums with the impermanent and portable nature of a greeting card to emphasise the surprising artistry of the card.
Sending and receiving greeting cards is a common practice during important milestones in our lives and the lives of others. Now more than ever. Cards are rarely displayed however; either thrown out once enough time has passed or stored away. Does our value for the greeting card change once it is displayed in a gallery setting? Why?
seeing STILLNESS
29 September – 10 October 2021 – Impress Printmakers Studio & Gallery
In this time of self-isolation, we may reflect on the quieter aspects of everyday objects or places and contemplate their balance and harmony. ‘seeing STILLNESS’ is an exhibition observing the subtlety of familiar interiors, surroundings or vignettes of belongings. The colours, the composition, the mood, the stillness; a celebration of beauty in the ordinary.
Tie Tether Tangle
12-29 February 2020 – Impress Printmakers Studio & Gallery
Tactility is changing. Our fingers no longer dig, scribble, scratch and lift as often as they once did. We spend less time holding, touching and using our hands to perform manual labour. The immediacy of our routines and lifestyles leaves us with even less time to learn and achieve skill.
Tie, Tether, Tangle strings together the work of artists who recognise the handmade as an integral component within their own respective practices. This exhibition champions the process of making as a means to uncover the subconscious anxieties which can only be revealed through doing.
Working through a variety of mediums and techniques, the artists use these verbs to challenge their connection to the handmade in taking the time to be anchored within their process.
