Two new exhibitions at the Art Collective WA showcase the works of photographers Brad Rimmer and Patrick Brown, who both examine the passing of time through images of Western Australia. Rimmer’s Nowhere Near exhibition features shots of town halls, once buzzing with farming communities, now often lying destitute, while Brown’s Hope exhibition, which was shot over the period of a year, explores the vulnerabilty of human existence and the bitter sweet duality of hope and despair humans experience in the face of planetary challenges.
