Proof Pairs
Works by James M Douglas
24 September – 18 October
Proof Pairs depicts a series of spaces, partly real and partly imagined, that could best be described as liminal. Like the surreal, liminal landscapes of de Chirico, they are intimately concerned with geometry. And, like the work of de Chirico, or of Simon Stålenhag, they are empty, quiet and discomforting. They are concerned too, with mundane details like the patina of old floors, and they are about fire extinguishers, whose bright red punctuates like the red ink of signature seals on Chinese Calligraphy. Or perhaps they are about the eerie green glow of exit signs, or of pools of light emanating from unseen sources. Or maybe, like the influential work of Sesame Street’s Number Painter, they are about numbers, painted on signs and on walls and doors. Perhaps they are about the spaces between these things – a cadence and a linking in unspecified pairs… or perhaps they are not.
Aeonian Imprints
Dr Barbara Doran & Kasane Low
22 October - 15 November
opening: Thursday 23 October, from 6:00pm
Aeonian Imprints brings together NEW WORKS from the photography practices of Dr Barbara Doran and Kasane Low, two artists who invite us to reflect on cycles of connection, fragility, and belonging.
Barbara Doran’s work is shaped by more than a decade of tending bees in southern New South Wales. Guided by their rhythms, vibrations, and collective intelligence, her practice is grounded in acts of simple sensing attuning to subtle signals that reveal intelligence as relational and shared across the living world.
Kasane Low’s photographic series Flowers Fall turns to the fleeting bloom of the jacaranda. Its delicate, purple petals, which flower and scatter so briefly, speak to the temporality of life and death, and to the enduring human search for belonging. Her photographs act as documented performances of presence, capturing fragile moments of transition between radiance and disappearance.
Together, Doran and Low invite us to see differently, to recognise ourselves as part of a wider, entangled cosmos.
