Artistry illuminates Brimbank

Lisa Buckland’s large-scale projection, ‘Shared Spaces,’ is a mesmerising exploration of urban birdlife and the landscapes we cohabit with them.

Collaborating with video artist Sean Healy, Buckland brings her paintings to life in a captivating display splashed against the wall of the Brimbank Projection Gallery in Sunshine.

On display until June 28, the exhibition invites viewers to immerse themselves in four themes from Buckland’s works.

Her background in graphic design and screen printing informs her artistic practice, however Buckland says this is her first time exploring digital art formations.

From cascading dahlias to slumbering pigeons, ‘Shared Spaces’ takes viewers on a journey with each theme, meticulously crafted and animated.

Buckland said this project marks her entry into the Brimbank community, expanding her artistic horizons beyond her native Hume region.

“This is my first time being involved with the Brimbank art space. I am originally from Hume but don’t want to be limited by my local government area, which is why I branch out further into other communities so that my art can be seen by other people,” she said.

“The projection runs for three minutes, over three walls and runs for three months.”

Best experienced after dark, between 7-11pm, ‘Shared Spaces’ offers a unique perspective on the symbiotic relationship between urban environments and their feathered inhabitants.

Take a visit to ‘Shared Spaces’ at the Brimbank Projection Gallery located on the wall behind the Brimbank Community and Civic Centre, 301, Hampshire Road, Sunshine.
