Their debut EP Shadows Aren't Real was recorded in ferntree gully and intended as a musical gift for friends, but after word spread and the radio started playing it, it inevitably took on a life of it's own.

$10. Entry from 8pm. With Guests Wolves At The Door & Amanda Merdzan.

Mini Art Mart presents Carly Nasso

at ruck rover general store, mt lawley

Carly Nasso has had 20 years of exhibiting diminutive, collaged paintings and drawings of curious characters.

After living all her life in the city, Carly and her young family moved to a small Mid Western town on the edge of the wheatbelt in Western Australia. These works are directly influenced by the experience.

These new, one-off works are created with an array of materials including felt, paper, pencil, felt pen, crayon and paint.

The unusual characters are sometimes animalistic and not quite human. They exist in a world where nature and science combine with fantasy and emotion.

Carly is exhibiting at Mini Art Mart, inside Ruck Rover General Store, through May 2012.

Ayako Goto Exhibition

at kulcha, fremantle

Weekdays 7-31 May 10am-4pm

Exhibition Opening - Sun 6 May 2-4pm

Japanese born textile artist Ayako Goto lives in Western Australia and works as an art teacher. Her work is informed by her connection to the Australian landscape through her experiences living and teaching in the Kimberley region. She lovingly un-weaves her grandmothers' kimono to its vivid essence of thread and fragment and re-works this raw material into a graceful evocation of transience
