Winter Season

Artwork by Yang Qiu

Folds

Artist: Aimee Meng

Exhibition Dates: 18 June - 5 July 2026

Folds presents a new body of work influenced by Gilles Deleuze’s theory of the fold and the Baroque, in dialogue with my ongoing investigation of kawaii culture. Combining Canadian smocking with embroidery, crochet, sewing, drawing and printmaking, my interdisciplinary approach echoes the multiplicity of folds, relishing in the excess and drama of kawaii and baroque aesthetics.

Between the Now and Not Yet: landscape and self portrait

Artist: Genevieve McCrea

Exhibition Dates: 30 July - 16 August 2026

My interest in landscape is grounded in the observation that self similarity in nature is visible everywhere. Is that a big head I see, or a plateau? Yearnings of the human spirit to find meaning in this created reality is a search for truth and beauty.

Sari

Artist: Anjum Olmo

Exhibition Dates: 20 August - 6 September 2026

Sari is a deeply intimate journey into the traditions, self-expression and expansive nature of the Sari garment, by Australian-Indian artist Anjum Olmo. This exhibition is a reclamation of the artist’s Indian heritage, weaving together nostalgia and cultural identity with her connection to the beautiful Blue Mountains.
