‘Drizzle’ Acrylic on plywood

by Julia Roberts @studioroberts . Julia is a Sydney based artist who paints Australian Eucalypts in the landscape. Working en plein air and in her Sydney studio, she is constantly experimenting with how to represent Australia’s most iconic trees. She has always been fascinated with the transient nature of light in the bush, and aims to capture the mood and emotional energy of a scene rather than just a literal representation.

Richard Cole is an architect who works and practises in Avalon Beach on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. As well as incorporating Australian hardwoods into his architecture, Richard has had a long interest in woodwork, studying during the 1990’s under renowned Australian woodworker Richard Vaughan. He seeks to reveal the unique qualities of rare Australian timber and create pieces with a high level of design integrity and workmanship. His family are often bemused by the frequent stops on holidays around Australia to load up the car with exotic timber burls and blanks.

Tracey Trinder @traceytrinderceramics has used sagar and wood firing techniques in her latest body of work, which has produced earthy, unpredictable results. “When the kiln opens I feel like a child at Christmas - full of wonder at the surprises”
Tracey has used lavender, seaweed, gum leaves and tea in the sagar which is essentially a type of kiln furniture, a ceramic boxlike container used in the firing of pottery to enclose or protect ware being fired inside a kiln.

Recently Tracey Trinder @traceytrinderceramics
was introduced to a rich, black clay that spoke to her of ancient forests and dark timbers. “I love how it looks and feels when fired unglazed. I wanted to make a form that hinted at nature without trying to replicate any particular part of it.” SALT + SHADOW - Opening tomorrow , Saturday 29th February from 4.00-7.00pm.

Reflected and dappled light are an integral part of the beauty of the Spotted Gum Forests of the South Coast of NSW. As fleeting clouds race across sunny skies filtered light flickers across the satiny lustrous trunks of these magnificent trees.

Michael Sprott @michael_k_sprott is an artist whose work shows all angles and aspects at once. The works gently twists and elongates away from the known figures towards something less known but still familiar.
He explores a variety of materials and forms, experimenting with both figurative and abstract. His art finds links between the abstract and the realistic, highlighting the familiar with aspects of pure form, finding a balance between the awkward and the graceful; the obvious and the odd.

Architect and artist Fiona Mitchell is one of the talented painters exhibiting in SALT + SHADOW. Her subjects are often still life and portraits painted in acrylic on canvas or board.
“In architecture, light and proportion and colour can change our perception of a space. Similarly, light falling on an apple or a face can change
the mood of a painting.I love the freedom of painting... of pushing colour around on the canvas and watching a painting ‘happen’...the way an expression can be captured in a brushstroke.”
