Three artists, three expressions, with one shared interest in trash, obsolescence, nostalgia, and what they mean. Ceramicist Shaun Hayes’ sculptures set the fantastical and comical against wasteful consumerism. Ellie Kaufmann’s paintings deal with a reflection of everyday mundane life exploring the theme of ‘one’s trash is another’s treasure.’ And printmaker Adam Bell studies the graphic and sonic form of the compact cassette, and the crucial role it has played in social change and the spread of music cultures. Free, all welcome. Showing until 21 October. For more info head to https://www.tuggeranongarts.com/
