Art Post Uki

A SURPRISING PLACE FOR SURPRISING ART

ART POST UKI is a gallery space dedicated to showing the work of artists from Uki and surrounding areas in what is a truly unusual venue, the 1909 heritage-listed Uki Post Office. The exhibitions are curated by an independent panel of artists including a local artist, with a mission to build community and engage visitors.

Opening 6pm Thursday 27 March

This is not a bold bright brash show, it is a show that demands the viewer linger and closely look, and the more you look the more you will find.
Ten years ago Judy escaped from Brisbane’s busy inner-city to a ‘pristine’ property near Uki. But she soon discovered the land was tainted with human rubbish: plastic bottles, rusty implements, an old squashed caravan chassis.
After the shock of discovering the refuse, Judy began to use the contradiction between immense natural beauty and discarded human rubbish in her art by bringing these two conflicting elements into a quiet harmony.

Judy describes the result as “a kind of wabi-sabi of prints and textiles, bringing together decaying rusting objects with the natural beauty of various leaves and weeds, collage and stitch, which expresses my experience of the beauty and the discomfort.”

Closes 7 May 2025
