existing on the threshold between two states of being
A group exhibition showcasing the work of four artists, each embodying a bold and uncompromising approach to life. To be alive is to navigate a series of transitions; from conception to extinction, nothing remains static.
By embracing these transient states and resisting the comfort of certainty, each artist becomes fully immersed in a sea of endless possibilities—free to explore inner transformations without preconceived outcomes.
Paula Day
Since a painted scene can never be the absolute translation, it is the loss between the act of looking and that of painting which Paula is interested in. Narratives and associations start to develop revealing the struggle between memory and forgetting.

Deborah Griffin
Deborah wields a confrontational politic and exhilarating sense of fun and transgression. This informs her current sculptural, installation and image based artwork, exploring the relationship between the simultaneous banality and violence of all that is beautiful and the poetic gravity of all that is ugly.
