In Julian Laffan's Tree Songs, carved and painted woodblocks invite us to consider the everyday interactions that we experience with trees. The works relate to familiar locations and stories within Julian's own life. Nicole Ayliffe's Into the land explores the optical qualities of glass, through her transparent forms, creating visual effects and the illusion of space. Both exhibitions are on at Beaver Galleries until June 8. See: beavergalleries.com.au.
