Geidans's well executed, realistic images of the northwest have captured its sense of isolation so adeptly they have stopped me from rushing out, buying a van and booking a string of caravan park spaces around the upper left-hand side of Oz.

Geidans takes us from the Foreshore to the Hinterland to view the top of this state through the eyes of "around Australia retirees". These finely crafted paintings are the equivalent of holiday snaps of the only part of the landscape that computes with the wandering suburbanite. Here's the petrol station in Onslow and a phone box in Dampier. There's the airport tower from Port Headland and a low flying plane in Broome. Despite the frighteningly boring subjects one has to congratulate the artist. She has presented us such a strong feeling of remoteness and timelessness, despite modern accoutrements such as wheelie bins and a shopping cart, that it overwhelms the viewer.

Nomad is a beautiful image of clean line and colour. Here an overlarge conch shell (incongruous in itself, more so in the desert setting) takes its place in a neat row of caravans. The air is clean, the ground is clean, the wheelie bin is clean and the shadows are long. I felt there had to be a woman in one of those drag-behind-the-car homes who is from, and dreams of returning to, a coastal suburb far away. Construction is a fascinating image as it poses the question; where did the absent bird find the branches and twigs in that treeless landscape to make such a huge nest?  And one can only suppose the jolly camper who set up a tent next to a termite mound in Weathering the Storm is proof positive that some folk do go troppo. Then Regrowth suggests a return to suburbia and sanity via replanting the neglected lawn and fixing the broken garden ornament. There's no place like home.

Home to McNamara seems to be the same wide open spaces as in Geidans's work but from a very different point of view. The landscape may be seen from high above or deep within but it is most definitely viewed from a sense of connection. Small boards of equal size offer patterns and splotches and suggestive shapes to produce an intriguing abstract sense of landscape. Grids and parallel lines, spirals and dots, stamps and stencils, in a variety of lively colours generate levels of meaning beyond the surface decoration they create.

For example, Everlastings allows us to travel from the terrestrial to the extraterrestrial plane merely by shifting gear in the mind. The exhibit consists of a scattering of colourful, small  roundish brushmarks on a black ground that can be read as a floral carpet or as the curtain of a night sky illuminated by stars, nebula and galaxies. Less exotic but equally rewarding to view is Creek Pebbles with its dancing marks, cool colours and sense of peaceful respite. It's easy to get lost in these illusions and rewarding when we find the reality.

McNamara's landscape is more inviting because we experience it vicariously, Geidans's is too close for comfort.  Both make excellent viewing.
