Canadian-born, Melbourne-based, Bruce Baycroft has been working on a series of paintings and drawings that are about the proliferation of residential and urban development in Melbourne. He is particularly interested in the unintentional aesthetic created by ordinary materials used in the construction of buildings. Elements like shade cloth, ageing plywood, temporary supports and scaffolding produce a visual dialogue he finds more interesting than the finished building itself.

Opening Event: Wednesday 17 April, 6.30 – 8pm.
