Woods St Gallery- Darwin On A Whim
An experimental collaboration with local band Green Stone Garden and local digital media artists. This exhibition will be a performance that combines music with photographic projections!
Green Stone Garden is one of those bands whose name couldn’t be more fitting. Their songs grow stories; like the dense and rapid growth of the Darwin wet season around them. Bass, drums, synth and guitar underwrite Mike Meston’s lyrical narratives.

Woods St Gallery – Artist @ Work annual Exhibition
It’s inevitable. We all have to earn a wage. Sometimes, it’s not the way we’d like too.
DVAA has challenged local Art educators to use their workplace to inspire their creativity. All we ask is as much time and materials as they can get away with.

Landscapes in miniature
1. Orogeny
Crush this mile thick sand
then tilt fold fuse — the scarp screams
silent syllables
2. Saddle
This ridge reclines
It climbs and declines
Strata and syncline
3. Scale
Miniature euros
bound pads unmarked on paper
topographies
4. Implied
These lines of contour
suggest landscapes of abstract
possibilities
5. Here
The existence of
here depends on those peaks by
bearing grid backward
