In Colours of the Great Heart: Resonating with Sirius, visionary director Barbara Diethelm reclaims colour as sacred language — one that speaks to the heart, the body, the cosmos.

Rooted in decades of research, this luminous book honours the feminine principle long exiled from our systems of knowledge and creation. Through her holistic colour systems, Diethelm invites us to reconnect with colour as a living force — intuitive, emotional, cosmic — a way of remembering wholeness and reawakening our inner goddess.

✨ “It’s about bringing feminine consciousness to the colour... the return of the goddess, the Sphinx.”

More than a theory — this is a call to feel, to re-member, to co-create.

Now available at Chapman & Bailey.

Nature Script marks 24th solo exhibition and celebrates a decade of showing with our gallery. This latest body of work brings her signature lyricism to life — mesmerising, immersive paintings that honour the rhythms, textures, and lifeforces of the natural world.

From bold gestural abstraction to quiet poetic detail, each piece invites deep looking — and many who visited lingered long in the gallery, drawn in by Kate’s meditative palette and sculptural mark-making.

While the exhibition has come down, the magic continues online. The full catalogue is available to view (with a couple of works that are still available for purchase) at cb-onegallery.com (link in bio).

Don’t miss the chance to bring one of these powerful works into your space.

Posted • .gallery CIAF 2025 is here 🧨 🔥

Make sure to check out the Yakal booth at the CIAF Art Fair.

You will see on arrival at Tank 3 Hairyman statue hand crafted from a Leichart Tree.

Title: OFFERING 2025

Story: The guardian of the rainforests around Monamona Mission. This is my grandparents story of the Hairyman as told to me by my mother. The Hairyman would show its self to those that went close to sacred areas. Our old people always knew to give an offering of fish before leaving country. This is the a practice we still continue to this day. It is knowledge that is given at an early age but notunderstood until later. I wanted to layer the idea of offerings, whether taken or rejected, to our people both genuine and emptygestures in history specifically around the referendums of 1967 and 2023 (a closer inspection shows the evidence of our referendums in the forms of the 1967 poster and the 2023 ‘The Voice to Parliament’ ballot paper). He stirs up emotions of xenophobia (fear of the unknown) which is underlying to his legacy and also to our people left in the wake of missed opportunities and offerings. The figure stands at an impressive 2.7m as stated by our elders and carries a string of fish offerings as a reminder of life’s ebs and flows.

NATURE SCRIPT
Kate Elsey
cbOne Gallery until 19 August 2025

Delighted to present the long awaited exhibition of new paintings by Kate Elsey, please join us with the artists and friends to celebrate.

Kate Elsey is renowned for her lyrical paintings, where spirited explorations of texture and colour trace meandering pathways across the canvas. At first glance, her works appear as bold abstract gestures, yet a closer look reveals a deep poetic connection to the natural world.

From her studio in outer Melbourne, surrounded by native flora and fauna, Kate immerses herself in a meditative creative practice. She approaches painting with the sensibility of a sculptor, intuitively layering pigment with a palette knife—smearing, scraping, moving in rhythmic cycles. Through this process, a dynamic interplay of colour, texture, and form emerges, culminating in a moment of perfect balance.

Her latest body of work pays tribute to the natural world she inhabits, capturing both the intimacy of our entangled relationship with nature and the awe of its lifeforces. Nature Script marks Kate Elsey’s24th solo exhibition and a decade of showing with cbOne Gallery, formerly Eastgate Gallery. Her solo exhibition Bass Lines (2020) was an immersive response to the natural wonder of Kakadu, NT, followed in 2023 by a major commission for The Ritz-Carlton Melbourne - a large-scale poetic landscape of moonlit Birrarung Marr waterways.
