About the Exhibitions
We Are Studios: Acts of Inheritance
Acts of Inheritance presents new work from seventeen Disabled artists who explore identity as something lived, layered and continually remade. We come to know ourselves through small, everyday acts and performances – our own and those of others, families, cultures and communities as they leave their mark upon us. Some artists revisit family stories or inherited acts; others reflect on Disability, mental health, and shifting perceptions of self and how we perform it. Here, inheritance is not fixed or predetermined, but enacted through the choices we make, the stories we tell and the ways we show up for one another. Through these works, Acts of Inheritance invites us to imagine identity as something performed in ongoing dialogue between who we have been, who we are becoming and the worlds that shape us.
We Are Studios is a 100% Disability-led, artist-run initiative empowering Disabled Western Sydney artists to thrive.
Artists: Aili Brenton, Virginia Bucknell, Ria Cirera-Cruz, Taylah Devlin, Holly-lee Dickson, Georgina Evans, Nina Frankie, Leanne Larwood, Timothy W. Martin, Grazia Napoletano, Adrienne Proud, Rebecca Sciroli, Kiri Smith, Jane Thatcher, Miah Tito-Barratt, Jordan Valageorgiou, Eden Young.
Curated by We Are Studios Collective.
The project is supported by the New South Wales Government through Create NSW and by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body.
Liz Bryan: Pattern Recognition
Liz Bryan is a visual artist and designer working across drawing, painting, textiles, sculpture and digital media. Her practice is shaped by an ongoing interest in esoteric knowledge, mythologies and ritual, and engages with themes of womanhood, place, and the hidden or overlooked histories of feminine experience. Moving fluidly between art and craft, Liz’s work also reflects on the intersections of science, mysticism and material knowledge.
For Pattern Recognition at BRAG, Liz presents a body of work that explores the microcosmic world and the underlying geometry inherent in biological structures. Informed by sacred geometry and esoteric traditions outlined in Plato’s Timaeus, the exhibition draws on the symbolism of the five Platonic solids—earth, water, air, fire and ether—as metaphors for both physical and metaphysical systems. The relationship between microcosm and macrocosm, particularly as seen in DNA structures and natural patterning, underpins the work. Through this work Liz explores the esoteric potential of shape, line, colour and form. Historic textile motifs, including ogee forms and repeating half-brick patterns, further inform the visual language of the exhibition. Through sculptures and paintings, Pattern Recognition reveals pattern as a connective force—linking matter, meaning and the unseen structures that shape our world.
Bathurst Regional Art Gallery is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW.

The Bathurst and surrounding community are warmly invited to come together for a relaxed and welcoming day of conversation with NSW integrity agencies that help keep government accountable.
Join us for:
10am – Welcome to country
1pm – Free BBQ
Meet friendly staff from key independent oversight bodies, and have a yarn about what integrity, transparency and fairness mean to you and your community. This is an opportunity to ask questions, share your perspectives, and connect directly with the agencies that work to strengthen trust in public institutions across NSW.
Importantly, integrity across government does not happen in isolation. It relies on people – on communities -speaking up. We depend on members of the public to raise concerns, share information and bring issues forward so they can be examined properly and addressed. Your voice matters.
Who you’ll meet:
• NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) – Investigates and exposes serious corruption in the NSW public sector and works to prevent corruption through education and advice.
• Law Enforcement Conduct Commission (LECC) – Oversees and reviews how complaints about NSW Police and the NSW Crime Commission are handled, and independently monitors critical incident investigations.
• NSW Ombudsman – Handles complaints about NSW government agencies and certain community services to ensure people are treated fairly and lawfully. The Ombudsman also administers the Public Interest Disclosures (PID) framework, which helps protect whistleblowers who report serious wrongdoing from reprisal.
• Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC) – Deals with complaints about health services and providers in NSW, helping to protect public health and safety.
Come along, grab a bite to eat, and sit down for a yarn. We are here to listen, to share information, and to work alongside community to strengthen accountability across NSW.
