Seven Studio A artists present everyday surroundings as a catalyst for constructing and communicating reality, in their own distinctive ways. Oscillating between the familiar and fantastical, landscapes become more than backdrops, domestic items become more than functional. We are invited to experience suburban streets reimagined in heightened colour, birds painted like precious jewels. In this way, finding beauty in the otherwise ordinary is more than visually captivating; it is an imperative for those who wish to authentically connect with the present.

If I Were A Cactus is made possible through collaboration with Studio A, a Sydney-based organisation dedicated to professionally empowering artists with intellectual disability and ensuring their voices are heard within contemporary Australian culture.
