In Intertidal Machine, Carol Hudson presents recent ceramic based installations, wall machines that use motors, replicas of colonial artefacts,
ceramics, steel and drawing. The works use the visual language of the intertidal zone as a metaphor for the ebb and flow, connection and disconnection between humans and nature, and to bring awareness to the impact that hierarchical systems of thinking have when imposed on nature.

being | becoming is an exhibition curated by Lauren Castino and Alanna Irwin that brings together two artists, Meng-Yu Yan and Noah Spivak, who engage with photography as a fluid material, encouraging a palpable sense of changing between and moving towards. Sydney-based artist Meng-Yu Yan’s photomedia works actively reveal and conceal the hidden self to reflect on their Australian-Chinese queer identity. Melbourne-based artist Noah Spivak experiments with ‘growing’ photo-chemical materials over time to question the idea that photographs are past moments mummified for the present. Together, these works reflect on and reconstitute photography to frame ‘being’ as something that is constantly in transition. The artists act as tricksters and alchemists through their materials, asking viewers to question their belief in the finiteness of appearances and the medium of photography.
