It's the last weekend to enjoy regional artist Antoinette Edmunds' whimsical sculptures!

In her exhibition 'Sensory', Edmunds is conscious of human urbanisation practices and the unintended effect we can have on other species. Whilst her works are whimsical in nature, her overarching purpose is to raise serious concerns about ecological harmony and the environment.

On display until 4pm Sunday 17 May 2026.

A Tweed Regional Gallery initiative and outcome of the PLATFORM program.

Antoinette Edmunds is represented by Lorraine Pilgrim Gallery.
