Since childhood, Clare has experimented with drawing and illustration, leading her to interior design, fine arts and finally to graphic design where she has discovered her passion. Here she learnt to integrate her love for illustration with logo design and type treatment, t-shirt designs, music artwork, fabric design and many other applications.

Artists: Aleks Danko (VIC), Emily Floyd (VIC), Kirsty Hulm (VIC), Anastasia Klose (VIC), Andrew McQualter (VIC), Rose Nolan (VIC), Mark Parfitt (WA), Tom Polo (NSW), Rachel Scott (NSW)

A rare glimpse into the artistic process, this exhibition offers an insight into the decisions artists make when developing their work, and their hopes and fears about how it will be received by their audience.

Presenting work by eminent senior artists such as Aleks Danko and Rose Nolan alongside work by recent graduates such as Tom Polo and Kirsty Hulm, the exhibition highlights that the aspirations and anxieties that accompany the making of an artwork remain constant throughout an artist's career. The approach taken to the subject ranges widely, from Andrew McQualter's poetic and earnest wall drawings about the role of the artist in society, to the bitingly funny videos by Rachel Scott about the pitfalls of working from her parents' garage.

Ultimately, what these frank and deeply personal works reveal is that the desire of the artist to communicate and connect with the viewer is the driving force in why they do the things they do.

Hours: Tuesday - Sunday 11am-6pm
Cost: FREE

Janet Biggs' video, Anana Dream examines the role of free will in the lives of polar bears in captivity. Anana Dream is the dream of things that can never be and the loss of things unknown. Now on the endangered list due to their shrinking sea ice habitat, polar bears face the prospect of survival in captivity or extinction.

Biggs' video takes its name from the Inuit word for pretty, which is also the name of one of the bears she filmed. Anana and her brother Lee swim in perfect synchronisation. On initial viewing, their movement, grace, and power is awe inspiring.

The music, a love song from the 1982 film Blade Runner, presents a romantic relationship between the two bears, and by extension examines an overly romanticised relationship between humans and animals of prey.

Upon continued looking, the polar bears synchronised swimming reveals itself as the mind-numbing, repetitive behavior of animals in captivity.

Hours: 11am-4pm Wed-Sat

Necromancing: predicting the future by communicating with the dead

These powerful iconic images taken from history and contemporary culture form combinations that will intrigue and fascinate the viewer.

Hummerston plays individual elements off against each other to create paradoxes which pose questions as to the nature of representation and its application in our daily lives.

The elements are layered and juxtaposed in order to evoke responses that are contradictory and paradoxical.

A guillotine meets a bonsai, a squid meets an atom bomb and Fidel meets Felix. In a world of registered trademarks, is everything symbolic due to its familiarity and its context?

Harry is a well know WA artist and arts educator.

Hours: Mon - Fri 10am-4.45pm
