8CCC Brekky's Kate caught up with Joshua Tranter ahead of his exhibition opening Essence at The Roastery 10am on Saturday.

ESSENCE invites audiences to experience the natural world beyond what is immediately visible. It explores the limits of feeling within visual components, evoking a sense of presence that cannot always be seen. From sand to sky, his aim is to inspire wonder and a deeper appreciation for the natural spiritual world we live in.

All work will be available for viewing whenever The Roastery is open (Tuesday-Thursday 7am-2pm Friday 7am-8pm) and is a collaboration with Watch this Space.
