Anastasia Klose: World without End

Next date: Saturday, 07 March 2026 | 12:00 AM

World without End explores intertwined ideas of ecological extinction and human mortality—and the tenacity of life to persevere beyond loss.

The exhibition brings together works shaped by Anastasia Klose’s involvement in environmental activism and conservation in Far North Queensland alongside new works responding to the life and recent death of a close friend.

Since relocating to Mossman from Melbourne, Klose has been involved in local conservation campaigns, advocating against the destruction of critical habitats. Her recent exhibition For thy sake I in love am grown (2024) reflected on these experiences from both political and personal perspectives, offering a “raw and reflective portrait of environmental advocacy through an artistic lens”.

World without End extends on this body of work, weaving together the artist’s passion for the environment and animals with a deepening connection to place and its creative community. Honouring her relationship with her late friend and local artist Andrea Collisson, with whom Klose shared a passion for singing, the exhibition offers a tender yet playful reflection on life in regional Queensland.

^{The exhibition and publication Anastasia Klose: For thy sake I in love am grown were presented by NorthSite Contemporary Arts in partnership with the University of Sunshine Coast Art Gallery.}
