As Johnson's first solo exhibition, she chose to confess that she has witnessed countless wooden sword fights and mock battles which have led to a fascination with the complexity of play. As a visual artist and photographer she is challenged to represent children and violence in a way that is neither too obvious nor trite. The pencil drawings presented in this exhibition are based on Johnson's photographs, and mimic such qualities as depth of field and blurring of movement.

Materialist film experiments, raw video footage, performance-based interpretation, and virtual digitized simulations: Traversing Tableaux is about transitory moments; a fleeting, schizophrenic passage into the eclectism of time. Viewers find a common cenceptual thread that runs through the trajectory of this exhibition: the ephemeral act of being removed into a hallucinatory state, and then brought back to the crude, sensuous nature of consciousness. Featuring the work of eleven emerging artists, Traversing Tableaux waxes hypnotic, an explosion of thirty second to three minute shorts.

Traces of Tea: Broken Vessels is a series of photographic images depciting portions of doorways and passages, each image exposed only within the random space of a spill. Each of the photographs is a plaque mounted with fragments from a shattered teacup affixed to the surface, optically inferring a cause and effect relationship between the spilt tea and the images that appear. The white surrounding the randomly defined images, along with the white of the teacup fragments, visually blend into the white of the gallery walls on which the works are hung, folding the spaces together.

An exhibition of paintings, the work seeks to represent the anguish of war torn peoples. Attempting universality, Portraits of War is a general comment on the metahistory of eternal conflict, specific to the effects pf war within species: those who suffer and are sacrificed when balance is displaced by a warring civilization. Portraits of War is presented as a work-in-progress, and was programmed according to conceptual connections to Tobey Anderson's work (Modern Fuel Gallery) and to the theme 'foreign states'.

Nathan McNinch writes: "All we leave behind was originally conceived of as the sequel to a project I have been working on since 2004, even in a crowd, i was always alone. This was originally intended to be single project which examined both the physical and mental or perhaps philosophical nature of human need for interaction and companionship, manifested in a series of recordings documenting the physical properties of the human voice--verbal communication being the most common form of communication--and recordings made in communal spaces. While developing even in a crowd...
