the shopfronts and walls of local
businesses. Follow the trail curated by
Tricia Swanton and Angela Griffiths
and you will journey from shoe shop
to butchers, through contemporary
stencil art to expressionistic landscapes.
North of Hobart
Argyle Street
Jagspares
Type Specimen
The creature is a hybrid, evolved by living
in an isolated island environment.
The sketched style tries to reflect a little
of the old scientific illustrations that were
made on ships voyages to distant islands,
seeking new life and hope.
Artist: Isabella J. von Lichtan
Where: 282A Argyle St, North Hobart
Open: 8:30am – 6pm, Mon – Fri.
Pool Signs and Designs
Pilot Station – Pinhole Series
The images have been created with a
pinhole camera. I enjoy the dreamy state
of the images and the entry of accidental
components into the photographs. It makes
a pleasant change from the complexity of
the digital age.
Artist: David Walker
Where: 284A Argyle St, North Hobart
Open: 8am – 5pm, Mon – Fri.
Motor Works
The Infinite Pity that Exists Within all Things.
This painting explores my personal cultural
heritage, specifically being a mix between
English and Crimean Tartar, and how
aspects of this conflict of cultures have
affected me and my place within the world.
Artist: Christopher Mister
New courses, cool violence, watch out its progress
Excelling through horror movies is a crazy
thought, then again I never thought this
world could be created, while the daily news
feeds your version of a repeating loop, isn’t
that just dandy.
Artist: Jacob Leary
Portrait of a dead brother

Asking For Trouble – Amber
This work uses 2 fused glass panels held
