Tim Mosely: Revisiting the Bush
PARKER Contemporary presents Revisiting the Bush, the first major body of work in several years from contemporary artist Tim Mosely. This new series of multi-layered reductive lino prints sees Mosely return to the Australian bush as subject and site, exploring its textures, rhythms and shifting presence through the hand-printed surface.
A significant figure in contemporary print culture, Mosely has dedicated more than three decades to the fields of artists books, haptic aesthetics and material experimentation. His works are represented in major collections worldwide, including the British Library, the Bodleian Library and Harvard University. In Revisiting the Bush, Mosely draws upon his deep knowledge of relief processes and his longstanding inquiry into the sensory reception of art, producing images that are both visceral and contemplative.
This exhibition marks a rare opportunity to encounter a substantial new body of work from one of Australia’s most respected contemporary artists, offering a renewed vision of landscape grounded in touch, process and memory. Join us to celebrate with the artist on Friday November 14 | 6pm - 8pm

Looking Forward // Looking Back
Looking Forward // Looking Back brings together emerging artists whose works respond to, reflect on, or reimagine the QCAD printmaking folio box as both object and idea. This exhibition of art students from print: praxis at QCAD considers the folio’s dual role, as a container of history, memory and process, and as a catalyst for future possibility and experimentation.
Through this dialogue, the artists explore the layered nature of printmaking: its traditions, repetitions and reinventions. Some works look back, drawing on the lineage of techniques, motifs and stories carried within the medium; others look forward, proposing new directions and expanded forms of practice. Together, these responses reveal how printmaking moves between preservation and progression—grounded in shared histories while opening space for what is yet to come.
In this way, Looking Forward // Looking Back invites audiences to reflect on the past while imagining the future of printmaking in Queensland.

Ross Woodrow: Order from Ruins
Featuring classical fragments of columns and capitals pulled from large copper-plate etchings, Woodrow references the agency and impact of these long-established and architectural orders not to advocate for a return to rules or codes, but to their scale, coloration, and muscular surface as a material metaphor and comparison to the human body. These columns and capitals, with their intricate, fluid and evolving character, manifest a millennia-old impulse to shape stone, marble, and now etched copper, into an anthropomorphic microcosmos, transcending any logical rules or ways of thinking. Experience this compelling dialogue between architecture and the human body up close, and discover how Woodrow’s practice invites you to rethink the boundaries of material, form, and meaning.
