TIME to BURN @ no.10 : 4.00pm, 19 September 2026

After gracing the Holmes à Court Gallery @ Vasse Felix, TIME to BURN comes to no.10. This exhibition brings together artists responding to urgent environmental concerns surrounding contemporary forest management.

Curated by Christine Gregory, TIME to BURN examines current fire management practices, with a focus on aerial prescribed burning in Western Australia’s Great Southern and South West regions.

Through artistic and community perspectives, the exhibition explores the environmental, cultural, and ecological consequences of these methods.

"The Southwest forests are a biodiversity hotspot, with many unique plants and animals existing nowhere else on Earth, yet they are under threat from many angles including inappropriate fire management. The WA Government should take inspiration from these artists, and be creative, considered and informed in re envisioning fire management in the Southwest to protect both nature and communities." Jess Boyce, Director Western Australian Forrest Alliance (WAFA) https://wafa.org.au/about-us/

The exhibition aims to provoke informed dialogue and encourage alternative approaches to fire management, highlighting the irreversible damage caused by prevailing practices. TIME to BURN  asks a vital question: how can we protect both our communities and the natural environment—before time runs out?

The exhibition features Western Australian artists Kate Campbell-Pope, Annette Davis, Elizabeth Edmonds, Peter Hill, Sandra Hill, Paul Moncrieff, Kim Perrier, Ben Pushman, Tania Spencer, Monique Tippett, Peter Usher, and Tony Windberg.
