Imperfect Beauty of the Sublime Bronek Kozka
For artist and photographer Bronek Kozka, the hand-held recording device is an integral part of his adventures trekking into remote parts of the natural world. As others have done before him, such as the Tasmanian photographer Peter Dombrovskis (1945-1996), whose striking photograph Rock Island Bend became an icon of the environmental movement, Kozka locates the contents of his images within the strenuous and challenging journeys that are required to obtain them.

Epiphytes Tully Arnot
Situated within an abstract representation of Tully Arnot’s childhood backyard, Epiphytes is a multi-sensory virtual reality work that features a diffuse, shifting, magenta palette that aims to elect feelings of solastalgia-an emotional distress at a loss of natural environments.

The Australian bushfires of 2019 - 2020 are still smoking in the mind. Of Embers brings together photographs, sculptures, videos and ceramics that respond to this episode and the cultural status of fire in Australia. James Tylor and Rebecca Selleck’s Fire Country installation speaks to an awareness that fire has always been
here and exists within a totality of deep ecological and cultural time, folded into Indigenous knowledge and experience over millennia. Katrin Koenning’s photographs phrase an earthen poetics seen in the polarities of ash and snow found in Lake Mountain. Tom Goldner’s photographs to visualise the paradoxical status of both brumby and fire in the landscape and human imagination, while Isabella Capezio’s assemblage of photographs, videos, found and made objects addresses the slippage between image and a multi-sensorial experience of fire.
