Bloom Break
It all begins with an idea.
Bloom Break explores the split-second when form ruptures and something uncharted takes shape. In this series, symmetry is not an end point but a starting place — a fragile equilibrium waiting to be unsettled. The works draw on the visual language of the Rorschach test, where mirrored forms act as a psychological mirror, but here the reflection fractures, releasing colour, motion, and identity.
“Bloom” speaks to emergence: petals unfurling, masks lifting, identities unfolding. “Break” signals disruption — the crack in the surface that lets something vivid through. Together, they mark a moment of becoming: the instant when an idea, a self, or a story bursts into view.
Each piece begins as a balanced composition, then undergoes a deliberate interruption. Shapes spill over, colours bleed into unexpected territories, and symmetry gives way to asymmetry. In that shift, a different kind of truth appears — less controlled, more alive.
Masks are central here because they are both concealment and revelation — objects that hold the power to protect, transform, and declare identity. They are thresholds between the inner self and the outer world, places where what is hidden negotiates its release.
This exhibition is the first of a two-part arc. Bloom Break sets the stage for its autumn counterpart, Maskerade, where these fractured forms evolve into fully realised masks — each carrying the imprint of the moment it broke free. Together, the two arcs trace the journey from emergence to embodiment, from a hidden shape to a face that meets the world.
The Shuffle
It all begins with an idea.
The Spring Shuffle.
This spring, Port Kembla becomes a map you can walk.
The Spring Shuffle is the latest edition of The Shuffle, our recurring cultural trail and collectible print series that turns neighbourhood streets into mapped stories. For one weekend, the industrial edges, seaside streets, and hidden corners of Port Kembla will be transformed into a curated route connecting galleries, shopfronts, eateries, and unexpected spaces.
Each edition of The Shuffle begins with a theme. This time, it’s Spring a season of renewal, bloom, and movement. We’ve paired it with a limited-run artifact, created for this moment and available only along the trail.
Part walking trail, part living archive, The Spring Shuffle invites you to explore Port Kembla through the lens of art, place, and shared discovery — shaped with the same world-building mindset that drives our creative partners at Rough & Tumble.
The map will be ready. The streets are waiting. See you in Port Kembla.

S is Spring
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
