The latest exhibition by Sydney’s ARTCLUB is FRONTIERS, a five-day boundary-pushing show set to open on Wednesday 13 November in Paddington’s Comber Street Gallery. This gallery space is set to be transformed by a group of emerging artists into a vivid landscape of creative expression.

There’s beauty beneath ARTCLUB’s newest exhibition, curated by Claudia Lowe. The show features the work of three artists who each bring their own unique medium and perspective: sculptural florals, desert-inspired paintings, and stone vessels. Together, their practices explore themes of emotion, landscape, and the physicality of craft. Through FRONTIERS, they aim to reimagine our relationship to nature, form, and movement.

In each work, symbolism emerges — soft edges and bold lines, shifting textures, and the underlying creative process behind the visuals you see. FRONTIERS invites audiences into the world of each artist and the beautiful contradictions of their mediums.

My name is — Lauren Crogham. I’m from Studio Lauren Flora.

How would you describe your process in this multi-material environment?

I always want texture. I love shape and movement. I’m always trying to find the language, the installation reflects the composition of our location — the landscape of the area, the sense of place that inspires the sculptures. Interaction with the material, the world, the flowers is everything. And it always forms its own visual language of interpretation. It’s the embodied meaning — that’s what excites me.

Tell us about this installation.

I work with sculptural floristry, suspended in air, the lightweightness, the geometry. When I was told I would collect all different types, patterns and colours, and making shapes in the room, everything I did was about ease across the different arrangements.

Tell us about your inspiration for this exhibition.

I spent time at Kylie’s (the farm) where we spent most of our free time and I made all my sketches. I love the meaning, everything feels like a story. The different shapes, their own movement. I always find there is so much symbolism, they were all tied to my childhood.

Do you look for balance in how each structure moves its meaning to the room?

Yes — balance is what keeps the work in place. Everything moves even in a still room, so I like to create fluid changes from really delicate to something bolder, keeping it light and comfortable in scale.
