‘Tides and Transformation’
responds to the unique character and layered history of Fishermans Bend — a landscape shaped by industry, erosion, and renewal.
Inspired and created during the artist residency at The Gladstone in Fishermans Bend, ‘Tides and Transformation’ features works by Angelina Mirabito and Samuel Galloway, alongside contributions from other local artists connected to the area. Exploring themes of repurposing, transformation, and environment, the exhibition responds to the unique character and layered history of Fishermans Bend — a landscape shaped by industry, erosion, and renewal.
Featuring sculpture, installation, and mixed media by Angelina Mirabito, the exhibition showcases experimentation and works that transform industrial waste into art. A video piece by Sam Galloway documenting place, art and transformation at Fishermen’s Bend will also accompany the exhibition.
Rooted in place and process, this exhibition reflects how materials and spaces can be reimagined, revealing the quiet strength of adaptation and the beauty of change.
About the Artist
Melbourne-based artist Angelina Mirabito brings a background in Creative Writing (PhD) and a practice shaped by her Italian heritage. Also using unconventional materials and tools—palette knives, sticks, hands, and ladles—she builds layered surfaces that translate internal experiences into vibrant, tactile paintings. Her work explores the intersection of emotion, movement, and materiality, drawing attention to the physical and sensory depth of abstract expression.
