Short description of the exhibition (100 words max):
Ground/Passage: Poetic mapping of Russell Island presents a textural and visual poetic mapping of the island that has become artist Sharon Jewell’s home over the past decade.The works have developed from an increasingly intimate
view of this world, while at the same time they reflect a more pervasive reverence, expressed through the careful selection and handling of materials, in both sculptural and drawn form.

Short description of the exhibition (100 words max):
LOG: Filter, Frame, Forest by Glenda Orr explores how the filters of science, art and commerce frame forest ecosystems and skew the way we value and interact with them. Orr, through her sculptural installations, fine art prints and drawings, visually disrupts the indexical representation of ‘nature’ with the repeated straight lines of the frame, graph or grid, unmasking our simplified understanding of the natural patterns and processes of the forest ecosystem.
