White Gold Mountain
Laura Skerlj
Opening: Thursday 9 May, 6-8pm
Exhibition Dates: Wednesday 8 May – Saturday May 25 2013
Gallery One
White, Gold, Mountain presents a (re)assembled landscape; cut, collaged and arranged to frame new versions of 'the wilderness'. The paintings in this exhibition focus on rocks, mountains, and mineral compounds, coercing these elements into disproportionate scales and disruptive compositions to infer the psycho-geography of a mythic and sublime terrain.

Exhibition Dates: Wednesday 8 May – Saturday May 25 2013
Gallery Two
For New Surfaces, Melissa Osborne creates paintings that are primarily concerned in dealing with our current image saturated environment. She opens up questions on how we relate to the volume and types of images we encounter by creating a link in the work connecting the viewer to a present and past time. Historical landscapes are disrupted by blanked out figures of brightly coloured patterns. These patterns are found in the macro worlds of faceted crystals, and through the use of refracted colour and light invite us into new ways of seeing and perspective.
