TONI WILKINSON // Tough Pleasures
Two suites of images feature women and food in a new book and exhibition by local, yet internationally renowned, photo artist Toni Wilkinson.
Revisiting the 2003 series that launched her early career in contemporary art photography, Wilkinson adds new works almost two decades later that meditate on complex themes of femininity, the absurd, desire, and ongoing debates around ‘photography and art’ in an ever-expanding visual culture.

CONNIE PETRILLO // Sublime Peril
A new set of images by Perth-based Connie Petrillo immerses in the aesthetics of the minimal image as the primary signifier of the cultural erasure of the child.
As she strips away context and detail, we are invited to engage with the bare bones of visual experience. Simultaneously conveying an atmosphere of presence and one of imminent disappearance, it's as though the multiple complex and messy realities of childhood are slowly being erased, sinking into the shadows, observed but not heard.
