Exhibition Title: Too Little, Too Much
Artist: Niloufar Lovegrove

Too Little, Too Much explores our relationship with water in its many forms (clouds, rain, rivers, floods) and the ways it shapes where and how we live. Combining traditional printmaking techniques with the mythologies of ancient Persia, the exhibition reflects on the impact of climate change in contemporary Australia. Drawing on stories of gods, natural forces and human responsibility, the works examine the tension between prosperity and environmental imbalance. Through intricate hand-printed imagery, the exhibition invites audiences to
consider our connection to the natural world and the role we each play in restoring balance and imagining creative responses to environmental change.

Exhibition Title: The Slipping World
Artist: Tia Adoberg

The Slipping World explores release, resilience and the ways we navigate an increasingly chaotic world. In recent years, it has become important to reflect on how we process and discharge uncertainty, grief, joy and survival. Inspired by the energy of tropical nights, music, hospitality culture and the social landscapes of Cairns, this series of oil paintings captures fleeting moments of youth, movement and connection emerging from darkness. Referencing Shakespeare’s line, “Let the world slip; we shall never be younger”, the works celebrate our instinct to keep dancing, gathering and finding light through turbulent times.

Exhibition Title: Nature’s Dialogue : Shifting Views
Artist: Georgina Hutchinson & Melissa Waters

In Nature’s Dialogue : Shifting Views, the artists’ aerial perspectives of the land reveal scars of bushfires and floods, chaotic and unintentional marks that become symbols and signs written in an unknown language. They are textures and arrangements that we need to decipher and comprehend, traces in the landscape that speak of cycles of growth, decay, regeneration and renewal where nature tells us to slow down, to open our eyes, and to imagine the land as a living archive. For these artists, nature is a book beneath our feet, an ongoing dialogue between the natural world and our own search for understanding.
