In their latest exhibition and publication they have chosen to juxtapose the adjacent coal mining industry with the Great Barrier Reef as symbols for a global conversation to ask an important question; can we find a sustainable balance between the continued extraction and consumption of fossil fuels and the well-being of our great natural ecosystems? We are being asked to acknowledge the relationship between one of the potential causes of climate change. www.thelightcollective.com.au

A Micro-Gallery - F Tanner Baker - Rozelle Sydney
?I have lived in this old bakery for forty years on Sydney's Balmain Peninsula and have wanted to honour its history and contribute to the local community by enlivening the street. The shopfront includes generous windows that lend themselves to a micro-gallery size exhibition space. I have established a non-commercial window gallery that exhibits works that stimulate reflection and, I hope, discussion? Helen Wyatt Gallery Owner, designer & curator. This year, F Tanner Baker has exhibited works by diverse artists, many of whom make pieces that can be worn. Exhibitions are up for approximately one month and are changed regularly.?https://www.instagram.com/ftannerbaker/?hl=en
