Exhibition sHift STARTS today | there is NO OPENING | NB. Such thing is in line with the exhibition concept - a shift from a formal opening The exhibition brings together the Meadow Mill Curatorial Panel to exhibit their work which reflects a range of artistic approaches, ideas and forms of expression. The title Shift emerged from a discussion around movement, change and transition. It also refers to the practical shift that takes place when artists working in one Wasps studio building present their work in the gallery space of another. There will be no formal opening or closing event. Visitors are welcome during the usual opening hours of Wasps Perth Creative Exchange: Monday to Friday, 9 am–5 pm. On 20 August 2026 at 5.30 pm, Lada Wilson will present a short performance. Further details will be announced on the @waspsstudios social media channels. All welcome.

The Butterfly Effect - Louise Ritchie Some time ago in the towering halls of Piazza Publico in Siena, I was drawn to the motion of the sun and breeze filtering through a golden-ochre silk hanging, moving gently, as if breathing. That action stayed with me and a sunlit familiarity in the mill led me to making these large watercolour paintings that echo that experience. Rarefied silk, known as butterfly silk due to its fluttering motion, is propelled by the silent and unseen eddies in the space, blending the hues held in the weave as it overlaps and parts in the constant ebb and flow. This work and those of my 10 fellow artists is currently on show @the_mill_dundee in #between stone and sun from 12-5. Last day tomorrow! If you haven’t been in to see it yet, book in here - tinyurl.com/betweenstoneandsun The link also has exhibition information and artists’ statements. #betweenstoneandsun #exhibition #themilldundee #thebutterflyeffect #realtimereel #2026
