    Step into a playful imagination of Caitlin Ramsay (1996-2024) in HOOKED: The Whimsical World of Caitlin Ramsay, a celebration of the beloved local artist’s creativity and spirit.

    A self-taught textile artist with a fascination and love for animals and the natural world, Caitlin transformed yarn into vivid expressions of life both real and fantastical – from the creatures of the deep to those found in our own backyards. 

    Through her intricate crochet works, visitors are invited to rediscover the wonder of nature, craft, and imagination – and to see how artistry can transform the everyday into something extraordinary.  

    HOOKED brings together a collection of Caitlin’s distinctive works as part of the Outside Art movement, honouring her joyful perspective and enduring connection between creativity, curiosity, and care for the world around us.

    When: 28 Jan-1 Mar, 2026
