"This exhibition combines paintings and constructions by five Adelaide artists who use the quality of transparency both as a physical characteristic and as a basis for meaning in their work.

Transparencies are things we can see through. In the daily language of the art world they are the things we use for reproducing and transmitting images. They are the next best substitute for the real thing. They are invariably shinier and newer than the objects they depict, and are often more palatable to look at. They are also indispensable to the existence of glossy magazines. Transparencies are about the business of getting messages across.

Transparencies is an exhibition of art which acknowledges the power of seductive graphics. It is pleasing, occasionally playful, in the manner of stylish magazine layout. It relishes artifice. The work is subversively cryptic by appearing perfectly clear, transparent." ― Timothy Morrell
