In Utero, Sequential Selection & Proud To Be Gay Exhibition at Refinery ArtSpace
In Utero | Madison Carroll
In Utero presents a year of ceramic work by Madison Carroll, imagining life beyond our planet through alien-like floral forms. Blending careful observation with imagination, Carroll transforms natural patterns into hybrid, otherworldly organisms that feel both strange and familiar. Balancing science, creativity, and environmental reflection, the exhibition offers a visually striking and contemplative experience—at once intimate and expansive, grounded in the earth yet reaching toward other dimensions.
Sequential Selection | Samantha Stephens
Samantha Stephens presents her debut solo show Sequential Selection bringing together work driven by a desire to hold multiple meanings, embrace ambiguity, and carry an undercurrent of humour—offering a release from the often overly serious tone of the art world while still acknowledging the weight of an unsettling reality. Combining earlier print works, now reframed as socio-political commentary, with new paintings that mimic the aesthetic of printed text, the artist draws on personal reflections, conversations, and cultural fragments.
Opening Celebration Monday 20th April at 5.30 PM. All Welcome.
