Oh MG
Chloe Wigg
Oh MG is an exhibition by Chloe Wigg, an artist living with Myasthenia Gravis (MG), a disease that causes rapid muscle fatigue. Featuring multi-layered portraits, upcycled medication bottles turned into snowflake sculptures, and crocheted snowflakes donated by the wider community, the exhibition celebrates both resilience and the spirit of togetherness. The snowflake motif symbolises the uniqueness of each person's experience with MG and the heat sensitivity of the disease in Queensland. The portraits reflect the face's impact, showcasing challenges like double vision, swallowing and breathing. This exhibition raises awareness, honours community strength, and invites understanding of this often invisible illness.

Quiet Corners
Joy DelCastillo
Quiet Corners presents a collection of still life paintings by Joy DelCastillo that reflect her enduring fascination with the quiet beauty of the everyday. DelCastillo's practice is grounded in a deep appreciation of nature, form, and colour, and in how light and shadow can transform the mood and meaning of a composition.
Creating art is a transportive experience for DelCastillo. It becomes a process that dissolves both time and the self. Each painting emerges as a space where and emotion and atmosphere surface unexpectedly, often surprising even the artist herself. In Quiet Corner, she invites viewers into this contemplative space, where light and shadow elevate the commonplace, and where colour and composition evoke feelings of nostalgia, curiosity and quiet delight.
