ART Exhibition @ The old finch hatton railway station

Threads of Metamorphosis


A celebration of transformation, creativity and the extraordinary hidden within the ordinary.


Step into the imaginative world of Threads of Metamorphosis, a unique wearable art exhibition by Leah Tranter, inspired by the wild beauty of the Pioneer Valley.


Created using reclaimed, recycled and natural materials, each piece transforms the overlooked and unexpected into something remarkable. Leaves, fibres, discarded materials and elements inspired by the natural landscape are reimagined as intricate wearable works of art.


At the heart of the exhibition is metamorphosis—the possibility of renewal, reinvention and seeing beauty where we may not have noticed it before.


Visitors are invited to slow down, look closer and discover the stories woven into each creation.


Whether you’re passionate about art, nature, sustainability, fashion or simply love discovering something wonderfully different, Threads of Metamorphosis offers an exhibition experience unlike the ordinary.


Visit the Exhibition

Old Railway Station, Finch Hatton

Join us for Opening Night
Saturday 10 October | 4pm–6pm

The exhibition continues:
Sunday 11 October | 10am–2pm

Come and experience what can happen when nature, imagination and discarded materials are given the opportunity to become something new.


Discover. Reimagine. Transform.

Threads of Metamorphosis — wearable art by Leah Tranter.


The exhibition is supported by the Regional Arts Development Fund, a partnership between the Queensland Government and Mackay Regional Council supporting local arts and culture in regional Queensland.
