ASCENT - From the valley floor to the cosmos

7 - 27 September 2026

How do we connect with the space we inhabit? This exhibition brings together local artists responding directly to the diverse environments around them. Through a sweeping dialogue of paintings, photography, and sculpture, the works on display trace a physical and spiritual journey of perspective—guiding our eyes from the dirt beneath our feet to the infinite edge of the universe.

The exhibition invites you to look down at the ground when walking through the bush, look out at the horizon through the canopy and see sweeping valley views where the land meets the sky, and finally look up at the night sky to contemplate the ancient sky stories written across deep space.

By mapping the physical layers of our landscape, these artists invite us to pause, look closer, and rediscover our own place within the vast continuum of the natural world.
