A Saturated Life brings together three remarkable artists whose practices explore memory, material and the emotional resonance of place - Rozalie Sherwood, Steve Tomlin, and Pinal Maniar.

Each artist works with saturation in a different sense: saturation of colour, saturation of fibre and form, saturation of experience held in the body.

Rozalie Sherwood works at the meeting point of drawing, stitch and gesture. Ink and acrylic flow across linen before she returns to the work with thread, using a sewing machine needle as if it were a pen. The stitching becomes a way of holding and containing emotion, creating works that feel intimate, layered and deeply felt. Rozalie has exhibited widely across Australia and overseas, including Rome Art Week, and won First Prize in the Brunswick Street Gallery Small Works Prize in 2021.

Steve Tomlin paints landscapes shaped by memory and music. Originally from the Isle of Wight and now based in Canberra, Steve’s works balance the saturated colours of the English countryside with the vastness and shifting atmosphere of the Australian landscape. These are not literal places, but emotional ones. They hold steadiness, reflection and the quiet rituals of home.

Pinal Maniar draws on natural dyeing, embroidery and weaving to explore belonging and cultural memory. Working with fibre, plant colour and slow, layered processes, Pinal invites us to consider the stories textiles hold. Her works are meditative in rhythm and rich in quiet presence.
