Rotating art on display
Nico Tone, Shell Flower
Inspired by René Magritte’s “The Castle of the Pyrenees”, Shell Flower depicts a magical floating world made of natural elements collected from vintage matchbox designs. The artwork represents a surrealist world made up of fantastical natural and man-made objects. The work is displayed as a floating bouquet of flowers that comes to life. As with Magritte’s work, with the clear pink and blue sky arise feelings of hope.

Alex McLeod, The Same Place
A landscape is viewed from a birds eye, as the animation plays similarities begin to appear suggesting a loop, but something is different.
Alex McLeod
