Fran Callen

A selection of works by Fran Callen, documenting personal and family relationships with domestic spaces and their impact on the natural world.
Donovan Christie
Selected Works
A selection of works by Donovan Christie that focus on capturing and immortalising the nostalgic urban landscape as it slowly fades.
Brad Darkson
Tremendously very very very beautiful
Brad Darkson’s work Tremendously very very very beautiful encourages a reflection on preconceived notions surrounding Aboriginal art, and in doing so highlights the diversity and complexity of Aboriginal culture and experience.
Brooke Walker
Our Great Barrier Reef
The ‘Great Barrier Reef’ series discusses the state of our oceans due to pollution and climate change. Single use plastics are a convenience item that society has become accustomed to using with only recently founded action to consider the long term environmental impacts.
2020
Exhibitions
James Dodd
Transformer
The exhibition Transformer is part of the Painting Mill project, and has been presented in a number of forms since 2015. It has grown out of my interest in simple machines and how they might be considered within a visual art context.
Jess Taylor
Good Mother
Jess Taylor explores her fascination with fictional horror primarily through digital methods of making. Using her own image and body exclusively, Taylor’s work presents transgressive and repressed feminine experiences, reflecting womanhood as complex and contradictory.
Alice Blanch
Gentle A Path
Gentle A Path is an exhibition of photographic works exploring the humble gestures of the Ngangkiparingka Onkaparinga River. The artwork stems from observing and contemplating the quiet fluidity of the river in its passage over the land; the elements of earth and water are seamlessly balancing and equally compromising to allow for the continuous existence of the other.
2019
Exhibitions
Laura Wills
Planting Plants
Planting Plans is a selection of recent map drawings by Laura Wills. The works reference plant properties and botanical drawings, and explore food diversity and food plant relationships.
Alice Potter
Parent Guilt Yo
In the days after her second child was born, and feeling pangs of responsibility and failing, contemporary jeweller and artist Alice Potter constructed a survey on the theme of parental guilt. The artworks in Potter’s installation were made as a direct response to quotes taken from the survey analytics asking over 100 mothers and fathers of new and older children to reflect on the theme.
Tom Borgas
Image/Objects
Tom Borgas’ suite of sculptural sketches fuse the language of digital media with the intimacy of analogue materials and processes.
Arlon Hall
Up Over Down Out In Around
The work presented explores a level of vulnerable experimentation from Hall. In contrast to the emphasis on clean lines and shapes present in his previous works, he has delved deeper into exploring intuitive mark-making, with the indecisive lines mimicking the trajectory of an artist’s practice.
2018
Exhibitions
Nathan Finch
With All The Travail
Often unable to put these emotions into words, Finch uses his works as a tool to translate the complex responses we have to living. The works serve as an interpretation to the gritty complexities of the human condition, increasingly encountered in day-to-day life in an ever-connected world.
Lucia Dohrmann
Pattern and Repetition
“I have undertaken a strategy of limiting myself to using the raw materials of artists’ canvas and paint, employing unconventional painting processes to these. My honours body of work consists of abstract paintings that emphasis materiality and process. They have been constructed by unravelling the canvas, crocheting these unravelled threads and hand stitching and weaving. These traditional skills were taught to me as a child by my mother and have become part of my visual language.” – Lucia Dohrmann.
