Robyn Olsen: My Perception - Your Perception: North Stradbroke Landscapes

These paintings describe a small patch of intact indigenous bush located away from the sand, sea and sunny coastline of North Stradbroke Island. To the artist, this is a place of nourishment and spiritual development. The artist captures the colourful, light-filled and expressionist landscapes of the island's secret interior.

 

Hazel Mary Cope: Spotlight on Nurses

Hazel Mary Cope draws on her personal experience as nurse to bring to the fore her deep interest in the human condition. Told through social documentary and recordings of history, she uses surgical equipment and hand studies to explore empathy as a key attribute of caring.

 

Martin Shaw: Three Well Known Australians

For more than two and half decades, Sydney artist Martin Shaw has left it to imaginations across the nation to guess the identities of the subjects of his artwork; Three Well Known Australians. Visitors from each destination record their guesses in year books, compiling a history of names, places and occupations that become a social recording of the public's response to the artwork.

 

Joy Scherger: Fire and Passion

The artist presents a new group of paintings that use the symbolism of ancient mythology to explore themes of time, place and the spiritual.
