Crown Sculptures by Kate Robinson @kate_robi are a part of the beautiful SHARED SPACES exhibition.
Kate says - “In Richard Powers 2018 Booker Prize winner, The Overstory, the author writes: ‘This is not our world with trees in it. It’s a world of trees, where humans have just arrived.’ The ‘crown’ sculptures are celebrations of trees and copses, playing on the ideas of the crowning glory and the power that comes with the crown. The trees are frozen and, in some instances, draped with glaze. I really loved creating these pieces, imprinting them with shapes and textures from tatting that was made by my great grandmother.”
We are open tomorrow from 10.00-4.00 ❤️

Palm Beach Wharf by Nita Lewis. Charcoal on Paper (394x640mm) is just one of the 6 beautifully intricate and precise charcoal drawings Nita is exhibiting in SHARED SPACES. “I have always drawn since I was quite young and whilst I leaned more towards painting in the latter years, I have found the simplicity of charcoal more appealing, even though the lack of control can at times be as challenging as with painting. Shared Spaces has opened my eyes to the subjects of the natural and manmade environments beyond my four walls.” Shared Spaces is on until November 17th.

Kate Robinson’s Lagoons with Trees (Glazed stoneware) @kate_robi Kate has lovingly made these small multi-piece ceramic sculptures in the Shared Spaces exhibition and says that they are loosely based on the coastal lagoons and their surrounds which we all pass on our travels along the coast between Manly and Narrabeen. Kate believes these places that trim the edge of the continent and shift from salt to fresh water are shared spaces in many senses. Shared between sea and land, dune and forest, marine life, fauna and people. “We live and play in these places. We have built on and around them and tried to contain them. In spite of this, they endure and provide sanctuary”.

AVALON OCEAN POOL by Simone Read @studio1113.art
Ink, gouache and rock salt on canvas (61 x 61cm)
Through her recent body of work, Simone explores the aerial view of ocean pools around New South Wales. Flipping to a ‘birds eye view’ creates a sense of calm and peace as she addresses the rhythm and movement of the ocean and the stillness of the pools. A quiet calm is what Simone invites the audience to connect with. The distinct colours used become a meaningful treatment to the way Simone highlights the beauty of our ever- changing environment. SHARED SPACES is open tomorrow 10-4 and on until November 17th.

BARRENJOEY LIGHTHOUSE by Nina Paine @ninapaine
For Nina the joy of this exhibition is that it has allowed her to combine both the natural and built environments in her paintings. Her thoughts were of jetties, wharves and lighthouses. “I love these structures, and I suspect it’s because there’s something solitary about them. They sit on their own, often isolated, and yet there’s life all around them, never too far away. We live in shared spaces, our presence and impact always evident in enormously varying degrees, but in this series of paintings there is very little of that presence to be seen”. SHARED SPACES is open all weekend 10-4 and on until November 17th.

Daily Dip 1 - by Vicki Ratcliff @vicki.ratcliff is one of the many wonderful paintings that Vicki is exhibiting in SHARED SPACES @bebraveartspace - Her love of the beach, rock pools and local waterways is a current theme in her paintings.
She believes that a dip in the sea puts life in perspective, humbles us with its vastness and beauty and connects us with each other 🌊 The Gallery is open tomorrow 11-3 and all weekend 10-4.
