Seasonal Shifts

5 Feb 2025 – 26 Apr 2025

Tracing the rhythms of life, memory, identity and human influence on the environment, ‘Seasonal Shifts’ is a group exhibition presenting artists whose works unveil our multifaceted relationship with the passage of time and our natural surroundings.

As observers of nature we bear witness to moments of seasonal change, and the beauty and unpredictability of our environment. We feel the impact of natural forces on our minds and bodies, and actions. A favourite flower, the smell of rain, or a familiar rock formation can become markers of experience, a record of our personal histories told through objects and places. As time unfolds, we see the traces we leave behind and the ways human presence alters the landscape, both subtle and drastic, temporary and permanent.  

‘Seasonal Shifts’ reflects how we experience nature in cycles—its transformations marking time and seasons, anchoring memories, and stirring metaphors that deepen our sense of self. Through exquisite depth and imagination, each artist invites consideration of our role within, not apart from, the natural world.

Featuring: Matt Arbuckle, Wona Bae and Charlie Lawler, Tamara Dean, Brian Robinson, Annika Romeyn, Hiromi Tango, and James Tylor.
