"I add equal amounts of each colour and allow the paint to arrange itself on the canvas," says Sutherland.
"I have been painting like this since puanga and I really enjoy the process and I am finding it easier not to interfere with it."
MacMillan, known for his large, recycled metal works, has turned his skill to creating small creatures.
"People don't often see the small reptiles and sea creatures in our environment so I wanted to shine a light on them," says the artist.
Tiny, bronze cast lizards, terrapins and octopuses are nestled in or on pieces of driftwood that look like natural habitats for the creatures.
"Nature has sculpted the driftwood and I have made the life forms fit with the natural shapes," says MacMillan.
"The bronze I have used comes from leftover off-cuts so I'm still recycling."
Timpany and Dobson have recently collaborated to launch their creative clothing company Masina.
"We prefer not to call our work 'wearable art'," says Dobson.
"The clothing we create is serviceable but each outfit has a former life and a name."
A collector of second-hand clothing and accessories, Dobson says she made a serendipitous connection with Timpany who shares her vision and skill for making new out of old.
Each outfit has a story and a name like Rona the Roving Reporter with a newsprint fabric tunic and a darn in the side where a close encounter with a war zone left a small hole.
The exhibition is a first outing for Masina, and their bespoke outfits will shortly be available for sale online.
They have pledged 5 per cent of income from sales to conservation projects.
Star has also taken a new direction with her art painting large, bright canvasses that explore how the past informs and "walks with us" into the future.
