Tiny Twist of Nature

In this first solo exhibition printmaker Charani Ranasinghe showcases an array of mixed media intaglio, collagraph and linocut prints, inspired by Australian flora. Works reflect an imaginary journey of Charani enjoying her newfound freedom away from her previously busy academic life, exploring the hidden beauties of nature. Her works mainly depict quirky birds, insects and patterns created using leaves, seeds and pods. Most prints narrate a little story and she hopes to take the audience on a reflective journey, away from the daily rat race.
