David Tremont: The Model Maker Exhibition

David Tremont brings his meticulously crafted world of model-making to Fishcube Gallery, on show 29 May–23 June.

Step into an imaginative showcase of more than 50 hand-built models spanning the last decade of his practice. On view is a range of large-scale vehicles, a constellation of quirky robots, and more from Tremont’s self-published books and vivid imagination.

Come up close to the textures, engineering and storytelling embedded in every build, and see how everyday materials transform into vehicles, characters and scenes that spark inspiration to create.

Free entry, Fishcube Gallery, 111 Dixon Street, 29 May–23 June.
