The Water Diaries is a new body of text-based works on aluminium by Ross Booker, where water is at the genesis of this exhibition. Growing up on the coast, water has always been central to Booker’s life, both culturally and physically. Residing now in Brisbane beside Maiwar (Brisbane River) and swimming laps regularly at the local pool, Booker claims that he is a person of both salt and chlorine. The Water Diaries ‘tether’ the otherwise vast subject of water. Within them, the eye wanders into a puzzle, searching for emergent forms, in a similar way to which we look into water, searching for life, movement, divining meaning from the reflections of what is above as well as the mysteries that may be revealed beneath. The words held within the circle ask enigmatic questions, pose phrases, evoke meanings that open other socio-cultural questions into ways in which people and nature might interact, echo, and merge.

Teddy Horton’s Poodle Boy exhibition features a series of short AI-generated films that have been developed over Horton’s creative trajectory of the last year. Through her precisely crafted, one-hundred percent AI-generated short video works, Horton subverts character stereotypes and storytelling expectations. Her work is disarmingly funny and poetic. She applies an unflinching, self-reflexive and often ironic lens on the inherent tension of creating art using generative AI.

Horton’s AI video piece ‘Stars Align’ won the Emerging Artist category at the 2024 Queensland Regional Arts Awards and initiated the development of her first solo-exhibition, Poodle Boy, with Onespace gallery. Her digital collage works featured in the 2023 Horizon Festival, and her photographic portrait ‘Rabbit Phone’ was Highly Commended in the 2021 Next Gen Brisbane Portrait Prize. Poodle Boy at Onespace also features her latest mesmerising film, The Reaper, a finalist for this year’s The Churchie Emerging Art Award, along with a new film and several uniquely created movie posters.
