Robert Mercer, Self-Portrait 2023, Digital print on archival paper
ROBERT MERCER
Strange Fiction
Robert Mercer was born in Northern Ireland and immigrated with his family to Melbourne, Australia. His art practice has centred on video, photo-media and installation, the position of contemporary art in post-modern societies, and the relevance of art practices in cross cultural communications.
Research into the role of autobiography in contemporary art has led to exhibitions both nationally and internationally.
Through the process of reshaping and re-evaluating a collection of photographic imagery Robert has attempted to negotiate a place and cultural identity of a diasporic person: a person who has moved between people, cultures and landscapes.
Strange Fiction is an exhibition of digitally enlarged polaroids that have been hand manipulated using various tools, including found objects.

SYBIL CURTIS
Ephemeral
Everything humans construct must pass. Some simply rust and disintegrate over years. Some are destroyed and quickly replaced. Others are only ever temporary. The subject matter of most of my paintings no longer exist, so it does not matter if they are not a true representation of a particular place at a particular time. All my paintings are constructs where different elements are combined to produce a coherent artwork: abstract qualities are of prime importance.
Structures made of driftwood accumulated on beaches are truly ephemeral, as the next storm surge will take them away.
