â–ś ANNA GLYNN In Above and Below I express my curiosity and wonderment with the elegant, complex rhythms and patterns of the natural world, referencing the parallel between forms in nature above and below the sea.

▶ DAI LI I find waiting rooms interesting. They are like gathering places for strangers, each with different motives, emotions and moods, either excitement and/ or trepidation of an unknown future. However they also share something in common, “waiting”. A place for a pause and reflection before next steps.

â–ś NATASHA WALSH In this series of paintings I have begun to examine the fragility of the self and the perception of the image as timeless through the genre of the self-portrait.
