FROM THE FISH SHOP AND BEYOND − Sculptures by Robert Liston

20 August – 8 November 2026

Robert Liston built his studio in Maryborough just before the COVID lockdowns and named it his “fish shop”, defying the idea that we couldn’t go fishing in lockdown!

The fish and robots in this exhibition are created from recycled “bits and bobs.” In Liston’s eyes, so-called junk destined for the tip is transformed into objects of humour and beauty.

Opening: 2pm Saturday 22 August 2026
