EXHIBITIONS
Main gallery: riverine | 24 August – 28 September

Onespace now enters its third gallery iteration, all in post code 4101 – from Highgate Hill to West End and now South Brisbane. Today, Onespace is uniquely located adjacent to Maiwar beneath the Spice Apartments near the Go Between Bridge.

The opening of riverine is a gallery-warming opportunity to celebrate Onespace’s beautiful new site at Kurilpa (the Turrbal word for the lands around South Brisbane meaning ‘the place of water rats’) and a chance for audiences to reacquaint themselves with some of the gallery’s represented artists.

Fittingly, water is central to the work of many of these artists—whether through form, process, culture, or concept—and these overlapping undercurrents invite audiences to shift their focus to the aqueous and to consider the metaphorical potential of thinking with water.

Statement 

My printmaking practice uses multi-colour plate intaglio printing to achieve intricate details and layers of colour in my prints. While my work celebrates the natural world and its critical role in our lives, it also highlights the impact of climate change on our planet's ecosystem. By drawing attention to tiny organisms and their beauty, I aim to encourage viewers to consider the effects of climate change on the environment subliminally.
