Landscapes: Mutual Perspectives, explores the spaces we inhabit—physically and imaginatively. The exhibition offers a layered, thought-provoking portrait of the contemporary landscape and how memory shapes our lives.

Sue creates mixed-media collages on canvas, manipulating paint and an assemblage of recycled paper images, textures, and patterns to create Visual Memoryscapes. These landscapes depict the visual characteristics of a place, while simultaneously fracturing them with moments from different points in time, drawing the viewer in. They encapsulate memories and experiences, create an emotional response that connects us to place, and make new memories for the future.

Margo’s work is about responding to the quiet drama of Tasmanian wilderness, through inspiration from plein air, photos and imagination, using oils and acrylics on canvas. Margo captures something intangible and precious, a reflection and reimagining. The remote solitude, untouched stillness, and hidden secrets as a distant observer. Shifting layers of fog weave around the topography of her landscapes in a protective blanket of cool silence, pooling in troughs and valleys and stretching towards the horizons. Here real and imagined memories of this place quietly converge, only revealing its beauty and fragility momentarily amongst the many layers of protection.
