Brent Wong’s work is instantly recognisable: isolated structures stranded among luminous hills; unlikely objects hovering in intensely blue skies; sharp light, long shadows and an eerie stillness that invites reverie.

Spend some time exploring his work anytime between 10am–4pm, Tuesday–Sunday. Entry is free.
