Andrea Eckersley: ‘Spatial Planes’
Andrea Eckersley is interested in exploring how the material aspects of paint create intensities, affects or sensations on a surface. These paintings investigate the minimum conditions of spatial illusion needed to maintain an engagement between the viewer and the surface. Eckersley’s paintings are illusionistic, employing visual tricks to enable the audience to comprehend the edges of an apparent painted object with shadows before quickly receding back to a flattened collection of tone and form.
Nicola Moss: ‘Site Lines’
Nicola Moss bases her work on observations of growth and change of flora and fauna and surrounding environments, of numerous sites of interest such as the Gold Coast City Conservation Areas, the Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens and the Redlands Shire. She is interested in the interaction of humans with the natural environment. Her work celebrates the uniqueness of flora and habitat, and aims to raise awareness of the natural environment by looking at issues of balance between human and environmental dependence and domination.
