Event Information

Curators Pamela Debrincat and Michael Delaney invite you to explore CLOSER, an exhibition that encourages curiosity featuring paintings and drawings layered with rich texture and pattern. These works have depth and hidden meaning that are not always visible at first glance. We invite you to search, seek and dive into detail to explore what lies beneath the surface. 

CLOSER demonstrates how sometimes things can appear one way but when looked at closely, there is more to discover.

“You can create your own interaction and decide your own beginning and end.” – Pamela Debrincat, curatorial team.
