Creamery: Fiona Groom UNEARTH a secret realm
Leaf litter may not be very exciting but if you look closer all will be revealed- Unearth explores the hidden world in our bushland, open forests and even in our own backyards, a life that’s all about survival, camouflage and adaptation. Unearth is a snapshot of that life, a reminder of what can be lost if we don’t preserve our gardens and bushland.

Mood and Mind
Wendy Epp Foyer 
These paintings result from a long held interest in the mind and perception. For several years Wendy's work focused on the brain, and produced deep, sometimes gloomy, images. After her last exhibition at B.F.A.C. her output has blossomed, colour and image-wise, moving to a happier place where mood is influenced by surroundings, adventures, colour and life experience. Perception is forefront in her consideration. Symbolism is used to portray places and experiences, but always emphasizing mood. Join Wendy's visual journey.

Reflection de la Vie
Michele Rudder Butterbox 
Michele paints not what she “sees”, but more what she “thinks.”
A new style has emerged, like coming from another side of creativity. Having “mirror vision” (like Leonardo Dan Vinci) helped her to be between the “Real” and the “Unreal.” Michele looks at her painting and checks it in a big mirror set in her studio, like leaving between two worlds and having different perspectives, transforming her vision. This is why Michele signs these latest works backwards. |

Connect 3.
Denise McMahon, Jennifer Neubecker and Kym Tabulo
Contemporary abstract artists. Denise McMahon, Jennifer Neubecker and Kym Tabulo draw on the traditions of abstract art as they transform their well explored theories and experiments into three distinct but complementary practices.
Each drawing or painting represents a universal aim that binds the trio, and their show: that is to value both conscious and intuitive decisions into their their works,
Sensitive to each other's aesthetics, and the experience of the viewer, the three friends hope to nurture a sense of visual adventure that showcases the wonders of creative abstraction.

A 40 Year Retrospective
Cooroy Local since 1987 displays his lifes work
"The human figure fascinates me both as a source of complex shapes and forms and as a subject of great evocative power. In my work I use simplification, exaggeration and distortion in order to enhance the expressive quality of my figures. However, they remain firmly based in reality because, although I am well aware of the expressive potential of the underlying abstract forms, I need the emotive content of associations and mystery provided by the human image. I want my figures to look real in an unrealistic way; distorted but ‘possible’, capable of life, and as such, reflecting real life in their ‘un-realness’, their ambiguity, contradiction, even absurdity. To this end I like, for instance, to upset a near-traditional concept of a figure by a sudden gigantic arm, or to disturb a quiet harmony by an unexpected splash of Fauve colour. My large sculptures are constructed over steel armature from beaten and brazed copper sheets, with the joints in the metal accentuated to contradict the realism of the figure. Small sculptures I sometimes cast in bronze." Kaya Sulc
