Poesis - Margaret Baker, Melody Smith, Melanie Diss & Serena Aristei.

Four local artists come together to showcase their work which embodies the core element of the materiality and history of painting. Works vary from traditional to non-traditional approaches of representational painting, jewellery making, sculpture, installation, gestural painting, to the creation of luminous pristine surfaces. Each practice is based on process or poesis; an approach to the construction of and layering of meaning.

 

24 July - 29 August

Plasticity - Dawn Gamblen and Minaxi May

A different approach to everyday objects with an emphasis on art-making. Using consumable items and everyday materials available at supermarkets and home furnishing stores the artists will create spaces that focus on themes of consumption and collecting.

Stitched and Bound

Organised by the West Australian Quilters' Association (WAQA), this will be the eighth in a series of juried exhibitions to show the range of innovative and original quilts by WA artists and to raise awareness of the craft of quilting in its contemporary form.

Since its inception in 1995 this series of contemporary quilt exhibitions has attracted entries from over 120 textile workers from all parts of Western Australia and has become one of the leading contemporary quilt exhibitions in Australia.
