Multiple sculptures standing on plinths, with large two-dimensional works displayed on the wall. The sculptures, varying in height and positioning, create a dynamic atmosphere to be moved through.
Many small two-dimensional works line the gallery walls, ranging in shades of pastels, earth tones, and dark colours. In the centre of the room stands a display of ceramic sculptures, a narrow sculpture atop a thin plinth, and a collection of fur objects on the floor. The room feels warm with its visuals.

A bright gallery room with window walls and high ceilings displays an array of design projects. The works are displayed on tables, platforms, and some hang from the ceiling. The room is filled with works ranging from furniture, textile objects, paper booklets, and posters. Most of the works are wooden, or share a similar warm, natural tone.
Gallery wall displays many small objects, ranging from hand built yard tools to delicate pottery and images. The objects are installed all the way from the bottom of the wall, leading up to the top, creating a full, populated visual for these iterative projects.

Gallery wall displays a cluster of sculptures and paintings, creating a world-like feeling of characters and figures. The sculptures of different creatures stand atop plinths, with some of them inside a horizontal striped box. The paintings on the wall echo the dark, subdued, and earthy tones of the sculptures. Other sculptures stand farther in the background.
A bright gallery room shows an array of sculptures and paintings, ranging in scale, medium, and themes. In the centre of the room stands the tallest sculpture, which has a long flowing fabric hanging from the high ceiling. The room includes pottery, textile work, and more, with delicate and precise handwork.
A dark gallery room displays many long, hanging forms, which are decorative wooden pole-like structures. Echoing these narrow forms, a projection of many thin, white forms is displayed on the wall. On the floor lay soft, white textile sculptures.
Two dressform mannequins display a set of traditional clothing, composed of a variety of colours and draped material. The mannequins stand on top of a rectangular textile sheet, matching the clothing. In the background, a small screen, featuring another work, is displayed on the gallery wall.
A naturally-lit gallery room displays a range of sculpture and two-dimensional works, ranging across textiles, ceramics, and paper media. Tall plinths display a series of ceramic vessels, images surround a textile sculpture in a corner, and large drawings on scrolls cascade from the wall.
A dark gallery room features a set of lighted works to be viewed intimately. The room shows a screen and a backlit image on the wall, a geometric sculpture atop a wide, low plinth, and a tall tree stump with an animal head sculpture on top. The atmosphere is focused, dark, and detailed.
Multiple large scale, brightly coloured works are displayed on the wall and the floor of the gallery room. A quilted, geometric work hangs on its own wall. Made up of cool tones and a range of figures depicted in the works, the room is filled with a mystical, imaginative feeling.
Multiple two-dimensional works of different mediums are displayed on the gallery walls, with one sculpture standing on the floor in a corner. One wall displays a quadriptych of drawings, and another wall displays a very large, woven surface with images on top of it. On the far side of the wall are a set of small two-dimensional works hung in a row. The room is filled with geometry, and the works share an organic nature through their materials and colour.
Shown up close, an archipelago-like installation covers the floor of the gallery room. The work is composed of mounds of organic material, including moss, sand, and stones, with a variety of objects sitting on top of each one. The objects, including wood, ceramic-like sculptures, and other ephemera, populate the earthy space.
