GET YOUR STITCH ON
I'm excited to announce my upcoming workshop hosted by, and taking place at Object Gallery as part of their MAKE.PLAY Workshops.
Come and join me for a fun afternoon as we explore texture and colour while playing with bright embroidery floss and watercolour paper to create your very own hand-embroidered greeting card to give to that special someone, or to frame and keep for yourself.
You'll find all the details here including how to book a spot. And while you're there, make sure to check out the other workshops they have coming up.
I hope to see you there! xxx
EXHIBITION/EVENT // Women With Clever Hands at OBJECT GALLERY
Women with Clever Hands: Gapuwiyak Miyalkurruwurr Gong Djambatjmala features an incredible survey of handcrafted works made by women artists from Gapuwiyak in northeast Arnhem Land.
Women with Clever Hands spans 130 pieces that include bags, baskets, mats, apparel and sculptural figures, all made from natural materials that have been produced and collected over the past fifteen years.
Representing the styles of artists from this community, the exhibition reveals much about the social and cultural life of the artists, serving to transmit knowledge to the younger generation and inspiring them to make fibre work, considered a primary goal of these women.
The touring exhibition comes to Object Gallery from Wagga Wagga Art Gallery and has been curated by Dr Louise Hamby, with assistance from Lucy Wanapuyngu.
EVENT :: WOMEN WITH CLEVER HANDS WORKSHOP
Saturday March 31st 10:30am-12:30pm

The exhibition coincides with another major Indigenous exhibition Menagerie: Contemporary Indigenous Sculpture - a unique and groundbreaking exhibition that exposes the richness and breadth of contemporary Indigenous sculpture in Australia.
Showcasing works from both well-known and emerging artists that depict a variety of animals, that allow artists to share their cultural knowledge, along with expressions of identity and connections to surrounding country-side.
Due to the recent floods, the exhibition had to be evacuated from Wagga Gallery- Object's Touring Coordinator Sandra Brown blogs about her ordeal here.

post number forty - black, brown and red objects
This is last post from my Sydney home for now... The white plaster blocked etching of a ladder was purchased from Planet Furniture in Sydney (I have forgotten the artist's name - me bad). The deep intense red handblown glass vessel is secondhand, brown handblown glass is from Object Gallery, iittala Aalto vase with twig pencils, and the brown peanut-shaped bowl is by Rina Menardi. The bull is from Barcelona and the stone carved pig (on the far left) was a gift from my Mum from overseas.
Stephen Bird, featured in the touring exhibition HYPERCLAY: Contemporary Ceramics, talks us through the ideas behind his work 'I just don't believe in ceramics', and how he created 'What are you laughing at?'.
Here is another video I made for Object Gallery. Here, Andrea Hylands, featured in the touring exhibition HYPERCLAY: Contemporary Ceramics, talks about the exacting process of slip casting her work New Warriors.
I made 35 videos for the exhibition HYPERCLAY: Contemporary Australian Ceramics at Object Gallery. The videos are presented on 8 iPads beside the works, including this interview with ceramic artist and academic, Jacqui Clayton.
