Epiphytes
Tully Arnot
Plant surfaces host lifeforms all their own. One is an epiphyte, an organism that feeds on the air, water and the natural refuse of its environment to give back to its ecosystem. In Tully Arnot’s new VR work Epiphytes, the Sydney-based artist honours alternative forms of plant communication and consciousness to make us question our own perception.

Facets
Mimi Leung
Mimi Leung is most well-known for her brightly coloured, quirky illustrations. Very much a global citizen, having studied in London and lived in Hong Kong, Yuen-dumu, Alice Springs and Melbourne, her work brings a playful and curious lens to questions of identity, belonging and the meaning of life.
Facets presents a series of works that transform the mundanity of our daily lives into a surreal, imaginative landscape. Visitors will be led into ArtSpace by Mimi’s bold illustrative designs and manic char-acters, which have taken over the Realm windows and ArtSpace Artwall. Inside, you will find a range of illustrations and animations including audience favourites, new work inspired by Ringwood and her series ‘Intricately bejewelled bugs’. An urban inspired, giant colour-in mural wraps around the walls, inviting visitors to embrace their inner artist and become part of this wild, beautiful world.

IN and OUT: My Lockdown Experience
Ringwood Art Society members
The Ringwood Art Society explore the challenges of social distancing and impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in this new exhibition of works from 2020.

Artists also draw on their imaginings and emotions from emerging OUT from this period. The exhibition showcases inspiring new works including portraits of people, places and ways artists spent their time during 2020.
