"Nebulous Azure" " by Rosina Yuan
Gallery 5 (upstairs)
08 June to 04 July 2021
Exhibition opening Saturday 12 June 3pm to 5pm
Nebulous Azure is a collection of paintings that reflects the theme of serenity and the Taoist concept of Emptiness. Paintings can be an agency towards a virtual space; through exploring the ambiguity of forms, colours, and light, the artist intends to manifest the depth of sky and air and the notion of absence in-between.
Rosina is a mixed media artist who works across drawing, painting, digital mediums, and installation to explore modes of spatial relationship and embodiment. She is a Ph.D. candidate at RMIT University with research focuses on virtual ontology, digital medium, and landscapes.

"Nature Photography" by Jeremy Grove

Photography
08 June to 04 July 2021
'Nature photography has provided the perfect balance to the stresses of working as a professional civil engineer, ultimately encouraging me to shift my focus to my creativity. Through my photography I have gained a true appreciation for the natural world and how fortunate we are that even in New Zealand’s largest city we are absolutely surrounded by nature.
It is this appreciation for nature that I hope to inspire and share with others through my photography.’
