Mudpickers features artists Suzannah Babicci, Lauren Jaye Carter, Jane Hawkins, Hannah Murray, Rhonda Payne and Bronwyn Smith. The exhibition collectively maps the artists’ experiences with place and an investigation of memory and history. The works reflect a shared interest in trawling across the mudflats of Townsville to find hidden treasures in the layers, colours, textures and botanical forms.

Two new moving image works by Sue O'Malley. In Vapour, real worlds dissolve into artificial worlds, as a ghost drifts into the night. In Deep, the future of the world is at sea. It shifts. It distorts. Nothing stays still. Nothing keeps its original form. It is a time to reflect, to look beneath the surface.

The artist Shirley Dawson is from the Eastern Aranda people of the Harts Ranges area, Northern Territory. She has been making art and exhibiting since the 1980s, and is now based in Mt Isa.
