In Gradual Change, Caitlin Franzmann and Man Cheung present works resulting from their explorations of Logan parklands and nature reserves. Over the past year, the artists have joined bushcare groups, attended tree-planting events and listened to stories from local residents that are advocating for the environment. This exhibition highlights how a sense of wonder and ongoing connection with nature can lead to a desire to better understand and care for a place and all that exists within it. Through an interplay of humans, plants and animals, the artists suggest re-thinking ourselves as less dominant over nature.
