Wild Island: Rob Blakers, Olivia Hickey … Feb 5 – March 1

You are cordially invited to exhibitions of new work from Rob Blakers (photography) and Olivia Hickey (design and photography), to be opened at 6pm Friday 5th February 2016.

Opening 6pm, Friday 5 February – Exhibition continues until Tuesday 1 March.

Rob Blakers – Rock, ice, rainforest

This photographic exhibition presents moments from wild
landscapes in Tasmania. It comes from fine winter light on ice and
mountains, elegant sand-dunes and sand-stone, and ephemeral
mist in quiet forest. It is the amazing Tasmanian endemic gondwanan
flora and lingering twilight over the western sea. It is a collection of
encounters, mostly recent, from three decades of pursuit.

Olivia Hickey – Topophillia

I am an explorer of the outdoors with a deep
and long held connection to the wild places.
I am drawn to hidden detail and find myself
captivated by the complexity and beauty in the
small. I collect natural treasures mindfully,
transmute them into silver and return them to
place. This process ensures that they are still
part of the land and highlights the magic of the
hidden details. I strive to capture the intangible
moments and create talismans that connect
people to the ephemeral elements of place so
they can be worn on the landscape of the body.
