only 9 days left to see my exhibition

It never ceases to amaze me how time flies by so quickly.  My exhibition closes Saturday week, 7th September and if you wish to see the show before it closes there's only nine days to do so.  

 

I'll be in the gallery on Saturday 7th (Sept) between 1pm and 3pm if anyone is wishing to come and talk with me about my work.

 

And to share some images with you...

Note to self for future reference, hiring a bus worked a treat. Happy campers, loading back on the bus for their journey home, Christine and Noela in the front seat. It looked like a lot of fun, I wish I could have joined in!

It's always hard to capture the full essence of the whole show in one photograph, I will get more at a later date...

Common Threads Exhibition

Sunday just gone, I stumbled upon an exhibition being installed at the Bribie Island Community Arts Centre entitled Common Threads.  A stunning array of textile artworks from the members of Queensland Spinners, Weavers and Fibre Artists. Very inspiring!  As the works we're still being installed, and not wanting to get underfoot, I only managed to get a few snap shots. These images were taken on my trusty iphone to capture a snippet of what is on display and is by no means complete, there were many more works to see celebrating traditional, heritage, and contemporary fibre.

If you happen to be in the area and are into textiles, this show is worth a look!

Detail below, mixed media wall piece by Felicity Clarke, Out of the Blue (triptych).

 

 

The two following artworks below are by Textile Artist, Mary Elizabeth Barron, her works were exhibited at the Cooroy Arts Centre some time ago unfortunately I was unable to see the show, so it was a bonus to see some of her works here.
