As if by Magic is an exhibition that speaks to the notion of magic inherent within the medium of photography and its methods of production.
In the context of photography magic can be considered by the properties of illusion and material transformation.
These properties can invoke a sense of uncertainty, feelings of mystery, wonder and awe each fixed at the core of the medium.
Kieran Butler, Renate Rienmüller and Katherine Rooke interrogate the ways in which this notion of ‘magic’ within photography is palpable within
their individual practices and simultaneously the point at which their diverse practices intersect.

When two artists work together in a truly collaborative way new ideas and art are generated.
Good art needs transformative moments and the friction generated by a collaborative venture can force the issue.
Brenda Tye and Peter Sharp have been making prints together for over fifteen years which have included a wide range of
mediums such as etching, woodcut and monotypes.
This exhibition is dedicated to monoprinting as this process is more immediate and intuitive by nature.
The subject matter is the ubiquitous Eucalypt tree, but by layering and using stencils new forms and arrangements
are created that show the Australian icon in new abstracted ways.
