Explorations brings together the work of artists Steve Waller and Leah Thiessen in an exhibition that celebrates curiosity, observation, and the ongoing process of discovery through art. For both artists, making art is a way of exploring ideas, materials, and experiences. While intuition and personal expression play an important role, their practices are also shaped by reflection, experimentation, and a desire to better understand the world around them.

In Shape Shifters I am exploring the transformative and energetic presence of plants, using watercolour to evoke their capacity to evolve into new forms. For more than a decade, my art practice has been immersed in the botanicals of the Northern Rivers region, evolving from detailed observations of nature's forms, to discovering the less tangible aspects of plant life. Plants are not static, they are in constant motion, shifting through cycles of growth, decay, and renewal, and I seek to capture this process of metamorphosis and the energy fields that extend and communicate beyond a plant's physical structure. Through watercolour, I translate these unseen transformations into colourful forms. The fluid washes and layered transparencies echo the way a plant's aura might shift, dissolve, and reappear, revealing glimpses of their mutable essence and unique presence in time and space. In this way, plants become shape shifters, beings that move between states, from the visible to the invisible.
