This project snapshots scenes from local train lines and train stations, where the maintenance and renovation of inarguably one of the most important infrastructures of our city results in the removal of surrounding flora that inhibits it. These new landscapes are ever evolving, whether due to expansion by the city or reclamation by flora, results in an often conflicting and never stable landscaping.

These impressions are imprinted into, ironically PVC skins, the implications of plastics alongside a critique of the erasure of our natural landscapes. Then furthermore crammed into display cases as archival evidence for an audience.

Daniel Song, a Melbourne-based contemporary artist, was born in 1997 in Melbourne, Australia. Finishing his Masters in Fine Art at RMIT in 2022, he works across mediums including, installation, painting, film, and sculpture. Song creates his paintings using a unique monoprint process that combines PVA, ink, acrylic, and flora. His work explores themes of process, time, and environmental capture, often incorporating elements of nature and experimentation.

In Paint-Paper-Scissors 9 artists explore the tactile and conceptual possibilities of merging painting/drawing with paper collage, forging a dynamic dialogue between gesture and materiality. This exhibition celebrates the inventive practice of layering — where brushstrokes and fragments of paper converge to form compositions that are at once deliberate and spontaneous, abstract and narrative.

Through the fusion of painted surfaces and collaged elements, the artists cross traditional boundaries between media. Paper becomes more than a support; it is an active participant — torn, cut, weathered, or carefully placed — contributing texture, history, and context to the work. Paint interacts with these elements not only visually but physically, seeping into edges, obscuring, or highlighting shapes and patterns.

Each piece reflects a personal process of construction and deconstruction, echoing themes of memory, identity, and transformation. The layering of media mirrors the layering of ideas, offering viewers a rich, multifaceted visual experience that encourages close inspection and open interpretation.

This exhibition invites the audience to consider how two humble materials — paint and paper — can be combined to create works of profound depth and complexity, where the act of making becomes a meditation on the interplay of control and chaos, fragility and permanence.

Anthea Vayonitis’ flow state process is inspired by lyrical abstraction and the metaphysical energies found in her interaction with the environment.Nature, meditation, music, and dance, actively channel intuitive pathways for her automatic art practice. 

The Star, the Sphere, Helios, Ra and the Golden Hour is a body of work which channels her cultural roots together with the earths pulse rate. 7.83 hertz, the earth’s natural frequency. Anthea connects energy through her lexicon in an exploration of sensation and colour. 

These chromatic pockets of time and space create spaces between these spaces whilst creating alternate realities. Each mark informs another, and the destination finds itself in the process of the painting. Light and its refraction reveal light codes and downloads between the materiality of paint and brushstrokes.
