Phoebe and Vic met at art school over 30 years ago. Their ongoing friendship and critical dialogue have helped sustain their practices over time. This exhibition celebrates their shared explorations of the quiet, everyday things that often feel ordinary yet are given special attention through the work.
Ryrko approaches her art as part of her spiritual practice. Her still life paintings of flowers are meditative, celebrating the simple presence and beauty of nature,  through the soft, fluid qualities of oil paint.  Snazell’s work is grounded in the psychological dramas of the suburbs. Playing with the plastic properties of paint and clay – she digs to discover and uncover shapes, forms, and creatures that embody a certain vulnerability.  
The Invisible Threads that connect their work are expressed in the relationship between the mind or spirit and matter. Each artist’s search for meaning, honouring what it is to be human in their own way.

The title of this exhibition is from a seventeenth century natural philosopher Joseph Glanville.  At that time there was a great unfolding of ideas, which laid down the foundations for modern science, while being equally concerned by theological questions regarding the nature of God.  In my view the fragile knowledge that we apply to the global changes we are encountering, can only be made sufficient through a greater knowledge of God, not as theological debate but as an experience of unity and interdependence.
