Thurle Wright - The Order of Things

Thurle Wright collects old books, maps, advertisements, newspapers and charts, and playfully reworks them to form new variations on the linguistic grid. Dislocated, yet familiar flashes of text and image, intricately folded, woven or stitched, are intended to draw the viewer in; to make their own connections, to question accepted codes, to read between the lines.

Nick Compton - Stratified

An exhibition of carved timber works which translate traditional and contemporary understanding of people and place. For Nick Compton, the act of cutting through layers of wood reminds him of the land he walked on, the stories exchanged and the turbulent cyclones lived through in the Pilbara.

Alwin Reamillo - Playing by Ear (Oido)

An installation animated by a series of small scale pianos deconstructed into personal memories and flights of fancy. Based on his project of resurrecting the lost craftsmanship of piano making of his family in Manila, his art focuses on issues of colonization and migration.

19 September - 12 October

Neil Aldum - mixed media
