Earth, water, fire - Terra veritas

Terra Veritas is more than an exhibition; it is a call to listen closely to the earth's heartbeat and to rediscover our place within it.

Curated by Morrison Studios, Terra Veritas invites visitors on a sensorial journey under the thematic umbrella of Earth, Water, Fire. Held at the Richard Randal Studio Gallery, a heritage-listed gallery at the Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mt Coot-tha, this exhibition encourages a pause from the everyday to reconnect with the land and its quiet wisdom.

Through line, texture, and colour, a group of emerging and established artists explore humanity's relationship with the natural world. Their works echo the rhythms of growth, decay, and renewal, reflecting the beauty and complexity of our shared ecosystem.
