We took a little road trip to Willaura Modern this afternoon, for another look at the exhibition, especially @ladymeadvic textile works. We had a chat with artist Howard Brandenburg as he was minding the show today. Bryan had to crack jokes about waiting for/missing trains, as the gallery is in the retired railway station. Good clouds over Mt Moonambel from the back seat on the way home. We also visited the Whistling ducks while we were there but I didn't get phone photos - it doesn't take much to spook them! #willauramodern #artwork #textiles #textilecollage #painting #photography #railway #birding #drivebyphotography #cloudscape #australiafelix (at Willaura, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLgN_jGrOCt/?igshid=1i6r1ur5imgl0

We took a little trip down to Willaura yesterday, intending to find the Whistling ducks and patronize the Bakery - which we did. At the Bakery we bumped into Lois, who kindly offered to open up Willaura Modern so we could see the current exhibition - lucky us! @ladymeadvic has been very busy, producing wonderful layered textiles inspired by her photography and dyed with materials found in the landscape portrayed. Alison Withers used a similar technique of stitching layers of cloth to make pictures, yet they are quite different in style to Carole's pieces. There are paintings by W.H. Brandenburg also and all the work relates to the artist's Sense of Place, relating directly to the landscape of the area - directly outside a window of the old station, in one of Carole's, as Lois pointed out to us. There is also a gorgeous video of drone photography over farmland and the river, and a gobsmacking felted wedding dress...Oh, and we did find the ducks! But I didn't take pics with the phone.😏 #willaura #willauramodern #artwork #textiles #textilecollage #painting #photography #dayout #willaurabakery #senseofplace ##naturaldyes #serendipity (at Willaura, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK3QMsSrQy9/?igshid=151zwnbacx39y

Anne Marshall and I had a lovely lunch at Willaura Modern today ( proceeds to MDA)and preview of the All Stitched Up modern quilt showcase. I have 4 quilts in the show - 3 hung, 1st pic. I wrote an artist's statement, as requested, for the exhibition, which I didn't especially enjoy doing...and I think mine is the only one there! So make sure you read it when you go! And visit the Willaura Bakery while you're there. #willauramodern #willaura #quilts #modernquilts #upcycle #vintage #vintagetextiles (at Willaura, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2gREJOhq9U/?igshid=r580xrbozsxt
