Gallery 1
Trans(ap)parencies
Anthea da Silva
Trans(ap)parencies is a contemporary meditation on perceptions of human value. Using charcoal, oil and acrylic mediums, collaged X-rays and light-boxes, da Silva develops layered and transparent themes to suggest surreal undertows and the bleeding obvious, reflecting the transparencies, apparencies, opacities and duplicities that challenge social constructs around bodies and gender.  

Gallery 2
un/spoken
Saskia Haalebos
Words hey? All of those times when they tumble out awkwardly or wrong, when their tone is ill-fitted for situations, when their order seems random, when their humour brings a laugh, when they don’t appear at all. un/spoken is about communication differences and some terrible puns.

Gallery 3
Glyph
Clare Martin
Glyph, an exhibition by Clare Martin, is focused on purposeful marks and the combination of image and text, and falls loosely into three sections. The first is based on symbols and numbers, the second is about mark-making and time, and the third is on zines that combine image and text. Text always retains a graphic presence, many symbols hover between representation and text, and an image can be described but not reduced to words; Clare’s aim is to work in the region where they overlap.

Chutespace
There Is No Lead Mine Here
Andrew Robards, Gus Armstrong, Jo Albany
There Is No Lead Mine Here opened at WAYOUT Artspace in 2023, it brings to light the chaotic energy that a proposed lead mine has brought to the area of Kandos / Rylstone and highlights the impact it is having on the community and environment.
