A thought-provoking exhibition that explores our human impact on the environment has opened at Redland Art Gallery, Capalaba.
ONE.5C, a sensory exhibition by Queensland multi-media artist Yanni Van Zijl, is inspired by the consequences of human relationships with the planet and continues at the gallery until Tuesday 7 November.
Redland City Mayor Karen Williams said the exhibition consisted of five sculptural artworks made of various materials, including porcelain, recycled tyres and coal.

“The sculptures aim to stimulate thought about our environmental future,” she said.
“The exhibition title refers to the figure of 1.5 degrees Celsius, with the artist creating her dramatic works as a reminder of the consequences if global warming is not limited to 1.5C.
“Freely accessible public art has such an important role in drawing attention to issues that affect us all.
“By showing these works, our galleries provide important forums that can inspire people to take action that effects change.”
The exhibition will feature a workshop for adults from 9am on Wednesday 27 September followed by a floor talk and light lunch at 12pm.
Redland Art Gallery, Capalaba is located at 14 Noleen Street, Capalaba.
