Cole Bazin, Untitled, 2023, 14 x 11 inches.

Natured Studies brings together three distinctive voices and disciplines: Felice Grodin (Miami), Cole Bazin (Vancouver) and Melbourne-based artist Rosslynd Piggott.

At the heart of the exhibition is a solemn work by Piggott — a sculptural fulcrum balancing the weight of human tenacity and fallibility. Grodin, a Miami-based architect and artist, presents an augmented reality (AR) piece that traces its origins to an endangered butterfly from the Wimmera region of Victoria. The paintings of Bazin from Vancouver introduce us to the inhabitants of this new world, where traces of our unresolved anxieties still linger. These figures, both haunting and charming, offer a reflection of our own absurdities, illustrating how humour and pain often walk hand in hand.

Opening event: Saturday 30 November 2024, 4-6pm
