Flora Collective
​Carley Bourne
Creamery

Flora represents all the plant life present in a particular region or time.  In this collection, I use the term Flora and its meaning to showcase abstract impressions of many aspects of the plant life world from various lands or climates.  I like to focus on the shapes or movement that have familiar connections of Flora.  That could be in the form of a delicate leaf, a flower that has burst open, or the tiny details of a seed.  In its entirety, this is a unique contemporary collection my interpretations of flora.

Trial No.8
Odessa Mahony-deVries
Butterbox

Locked in a jail cell with four instructions or tiptoeing along scaffolding, the performative and laborious act of painting is foregrounded in this bold exhibition. Odessa’s playful multi-disciplinary art practice has been disrupted by pushing or conforming to time, duration and spatial constraints. Canvas ranging from small, large and 20x3.4m long are left with indexical marks of past performances. Alongside the overwhelmingly large draped canvas descending from the ceiling are videos and images documenting the public and private act of making. .

LEGENDS OF OBJECTS OF DESIRE (O.O.D)
Manuel Bugallo
The Foyer 

Significant telling of the untellable.
Manu’s art practice includes collecting discarded spare parts and forsaken scraps of history and transforming into a new life. These objects once undesirable become desirable again.
Born in Northern France, an artist and creative from an early age, Manu studied Ballet at the National Conservatoire of Lille for eight years. From the age of 3 years, he developed a fascination with space and travel and human imagery, drawing the human form in its velocity. Throughout his life he has transcended between dance and the construct of painting and drawing.  
This exhibition is an unfolding story/fable much like the continuity of humanity through past storytelling, presenting the viewer with four unique worlds with infinite possibilities to ignite imagination and interpretation.
