ART EXHIBITION | Geoffrey Burns: Ride the Chronovore

About

Open Wednesday - Saturday until October 4

EXHIBITION OPENING NIGHT
FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 18
6pm - 8pm

Revisiting locations at different times of year, Geoffrey Burns approaches making as both a method and a measure of time. Works emerge through repeated encounters with place, where observation accumulates and memory takes form through surface and seasonal change.

Ride the Chronovoreconsiders time as an active force: consuming, transforming and leaving its evidence behind. Through repetition, Burns traces how surfaces shift, forms appear and recede, and environments register cycles that often unfold beyond human attention.

Each return gathers new information while revealing what has altered, disappeared or endured. The fleeting span of a human life meets the slower tempo of the natural world, inviting an attentive and materially grounded way of looking at the quiet force of time.

Since 2022, Burns has presented his work in group exhibitions across Brisbane, continuing to develop a practice grounded in sustained observation, material process and abstraction.
