Geelong-based printmaker Astrid Lempriere will exhibit a new body of work, The Weight of Light in an intimate new collection of linoprints.
Exploring the quiet weight of emotion, strength in softness, and the human experience of being both seen and unseen, each hand-carved piece reveals a moment of stillness—often introspective, sometimes joyful, always tender.

Though small in size, this exhibition marks a meaningful step forward in Astrid’s artistic journey. A self-taught emerging artist with a background in working across disability, education, and community art spaces, Astrid brings lived experience and emotional honesty into her printmaking practice.
This new series of four works—Quiet Panic, See It Through, Recharge Required, and Community Found—continues her exploration of emotional states, drawing from moments that often go unspoken. Each piece presents a figure in a suspended, reflective moment: holding pressure no one sees, emerging from distortion, withdrawing to regroup, or blooming in the company of others.
Astrid’s practice—self-taught beyond a Cert III in Visual Arts—is shaped by her neurodivergent perspective, bringing a raw clarity and tenderness to each piece. Her work invites viewers to find parts of themselves in the silence between lines, in the mood behind each posture.
Visitors are invited to experience the works from the street-level gallery window—an exhibition best viewed from the footpath.
