You’re invited to the opening of Songs of Stones, a new solo exhibition by Catherine Hickson at Wester Gallery
Drawing together still life and abstraction, Hickson’s latest body of work reflects on the quiet presence of rocks and stones in our everyday lives. From the landscapes we walk through to the objects we make and live with, Songs of Stones uncovers the beauty and enduring nature of these familiar forms.

Join for an evening celebrating a thoughtful and deeply considered exhibition that explores memory, materiality and our connection to place.

Michelle Teear’s third solo exhibition at Straitjacket is opening tomorrow, Saturday 9 May from 11am-5pm. Meet the artist on the day.

“Expansion” draws on cracked escarpments shaped under pressure, where rocky outcrops and quiet waterholes become contemplative gateways to inner landscapes. During a month in Western Queensland’s Channel Country, Michelle observed spring floodplains erupt in a flush of wild daisies and billy buttons.

The act of repetitive, decisive mark making inspired by fractured rock forms, becomes a pathway to self-expansion through connection with unconscious memory. Flat-topped mesas evoke a sense of grounded stillness, while quiet waterholes invite viewers to peer into their depths, to turn inward toward the stories we carry, some faintly pin-pricked with the shimmer of stars.
