Huge thanks to all the staff and volunteers at Noosa Regional Gallery for their support while presenting my exhibition - their manner of professionalism is second to none!

A few exhibition highlights to share with you...

A super fun time with gallery staff installing my exhibition - painting plinths.

Friends visiting me at the gallery 😍!

After hours upon hours of intense labour completing this piece, finally saw Radiant Love being hung.

...and making it seem all worthwhile with peeps admiring your work!

The Kids Art Space is being embraced by one and all, even the locals ... 

A proud Carmela (below) with her hand-made personalised prayer flag hanging and her seven happy words ... 'Happy, Playing, Baby, Music, Pancakes, Clean and Toys'.

I particularly liked the graffiti residue left on the table from writing on the prayer flags.

Fashioned by Brooke, the Peg Mandala activity area is made complete with a round table and donut cushions.

Facilitating seven children's art activities over the duration of the exhibition, and wrapping it up with the Peg Doll Making Workshop on ArtPlay Sunday.

Domestic Duties Chapter Three - Official Opening

Please accept this warm invitation to the official opening of my next solo exhibition, Domestic Duties Chapter Three 'Sacred in the Domestic' to be held at Noosa Regional Gallery on Friday 1 December 2017 from 6pm. Guest Speaker Dr Ginna Brock.

Domestic Duties Chapter Three is the finale in the trilogy of explorations into the domestic sphere. 

Sacred in the Domestic (detail), 2017, vintage laundry trolley, wire basket, plastic, upcycled pillow-cases, ink, 22 carat gold leaf and varnish.

One of the features of Domestic Duties Chapter One (2011) and Domestic Duties Chapter Two (2012) was audience participation. The audience informed the development of the works in both exhibitions by responding to the term ‘Domestic Duties’. Domestic Duties Chapter Three continues the conversation and documents the response to the phrase ‘Sacred in the Domestic’ by transferring them onto the prayer flag like fabric so that it reads as a stream of consciousness poem – a snapshot of our community in the here and now.
