About Night and Day 

Penny Mason

Penny Mason's Night and Day explores the delicate balance within materials, observations, desire, and presence, all inspired by Tasmania's landscapes. The exhibition pairs frost-etched watercolors, capturing overnight weather conditions, with works drawing from natural decorative traditions. These compositions, weightless and ever-shifting, mirror the constant evolution of our world through natural and human-driven events.

Exhibitions run from 28 September - 22 October

Lizhu Huang wants to use this series of figurines to symbolize the fragmented remnants of psychological disorder formed by people under external pressure. The eye, mouth, and nose are separated into parts and transformed; the front is representational and the back abstracted, she allows them to tilt, losing their balance. These sculptures are symbolic of the imbalanced psychology of people, where the eyes, nose and mouth are naturally gathered together but are now separated and off-balance under the influence of the external world. Lizhu wants to convey a feeling of unbalanced uneasiness.
