DOTS BY DESIGNZ

OPENING FRIDAY 6 OCT 6PM

How much difference can 11hrs make?

The sharp changes of the of desert at dusk and dawn give life to new silhouettes as native animals walk its plans.

As the sun sets and rises over the desert, the changing landscape brings a sense of newness and wonder. The beauty of the desert at these times of day is truly breathtaking.

There's nothing quite like experiencing the desert landscape up close and personal. During these times of day gives you a chance to witness the changing colours and shadows that transform the desert from a harsh, unforgiving landscape to a place of beauty and wonder.

The desert is one of the best places in the world to view the night sky. With very little light pollution, the stars seem to shine brighter and clearer than anywhere else. Lay out a blanket and spend the night marvelling at the beauty of the universe. Or climb one of the rangers you'll get a bird's eye view of the changing landscape and the native animals that call it home.

This collection of modern stories showcases the beauty and wonder of the desert, and showing our new love for exploring different art forms and media.
