The main features of Glimpses are the paintings on the antique suitcases, which all tell tales of a journey.

Ms Tosh moved home a lot growing up and has since been fascinated with the story each person can provide.

She loved the concept of seeing a "glimpse" of someone on a bus or train and wondering what journey they are on.

Ms Tosh explained her artworks are: "individual moments, snap shots or brief glimpses which combine to tell a universal story about individual human journeys."

"Many of the people seen on the bus or the train, we never lay eyes on again.

"Yet we share a strange bond with them, because, even if it was only for a few minutes, we were fellow travellers, going the same way on life's great journey."

The suitcases themselves have been on their own journeys and have provided an exciting medium to paint on, Ms Tosh said.

"I have used old suitcases and travel imagery to evoke a sense of the journey we all share; the great journey of life," she said.

"In our journey through this life we pass through different stages, different places, meet new people, build relationships, experience physical ageing and many other intellectual and emotional changes."

Glimpses also features printed faces on the many bus tickets Ms Tosh collected during her university years.

The exhibition also features sculptures of scavengers such as the rats and birds, the "sentinels in all the places of our departing and arriving."

Ms Tosh's debut solo exhibition can be seen at the Fire Station Arts Centre from August 18 till September 6, the official opening is on August 22 at 6pm.
