Colour Hum
Sophia Cameron Creamery "Painting and creating allows me the opportunity to explore and express my interest in human nature, especially people’s inner strength, kindness, resilience and humour. The Sunshine Coast has been a magnet for me since I discovered it as a teenager. This body of work is a celebration of memorable moments and experiences enjoyed in this region, expressed in vivid and pulsing colour combinations to reflect its unique and special hum." |

Life Journey: Heart to Hand
Robert Faulkner & Geoff Clarke Butterbox Robert (Bob) Faulkner returns to the Butter Box space with a new collection. This work is an exploration into a new style for Bob; his previous body of work portrayed the repercussions of serving his country in war through a stark surreal lens. In this collection he has shifted to creating paintings with extreme detail, hiding faces and text in the minuscule markings. Geoff Clarke joins Bob in this exhibition with a large sculptural work, Genesis & Eternity. Developed over 10 years, this work is Geoff's interpretation of humanity's journey through life and connection to nature; incorporating references to the elements, Earth, Wind, Fire and Water and Mother Earth, there is something new to find each time you view the work. |
