Exhibition Schedule, 2025

Amy Wright — ‘Sunbleached Eden’

— From 5 June, 2025

In Sunbleached Eden, Amy Wright explores the tension between fragility and endurance in landscapes shaped by heat, scarcity, and improvisation; gardens caught in the in-between, both dying and blooming, suspended in the shimmering stillness of high sun.

Sunbleached Eden is an ode to what’s often overlooked: the tenacious, improvised beauty of survival; gardens that persist in silence, halfway between life and loss, holding their place beneath an unforgiving sun.

Paige Northwood and Skye Jamieson — ‘promise paintings’

— From May 23, 2025

‘promise paintings’ is a collaborative exhibition by Skye Jamieson and Paige Northwood, exploring movement, mark making, and the quiet complexities of relationship.

Rooted in embodied practice, the works speak to connection—between the artists, materials, and the viewer—and the subtle conversations that unfold through paint.

Sarah Darling — First Release of 2025 Works

— From March 19, 2025

Darling’s painting practice involves working with colour and abstract forms, often in large scale works. She creates intuitively and her projects are often material-led. They are as much about process as they are about outside inspiration.
