BIMBLEBOX: ART - SCIENCE - NATURE;

A touring exhibition showcasing an artist group's creative response to their experience of the unique Bimblebox Nature Refuge. Under threat from the devastation of coal mining, the artists have developed provocative artworks that bear witness to this beautiful and protected refuge. This informative exhibition reflects the tensions between mining, conservation and consumption and is explored through installation, works on paper, painting, artists' books, digital storytelling and sound.

JULIA DAVIS - DARK MATTER;

In response to the ideas in the Bimblebox touring exhibition, Northern Beaches-based artist Julia Davis draws upon the ideas of art and science to create an installation that is site specific. At the core of her practice, Julia explores understandings of the body in relation to matter and how this underpins our sense of self and place.

PETER TILLEY AND ANDY DEVINE - BLACK HARVEST;

Two like-minded artists collaborate to create rich and complex conceptual works reflecting the industrial landscape of the Newcastle region. A duality of experience is explored through ideas of displacement, abandonment and isolation within the environment. Through the use of found objects, materials and symbolism, Tilley and Devine examine histories, nostalgia and memory.
