SUMMARY:L A C E  A S  S O U N D
DESCRIPTION:  \nLace as Sound is an installation of experimental textiles created through a novel collaboration between textile designer Cecilia Heffer and composer Mara Schwerdtfeger. Heffer was awarded a Powerhouse Research scholarship to explore the structure of lace as sound. A suite of vocal harmonies has become a method for expressing the often-invisible female labour behind the textile industry. Music scores have been explored using a state-of-the-art Shima Seiki Seamless knit machine at the University of Technology\, Sydney. Poetically\, when the Shima knits the scores\, it ‘sings the lace\,’ giving contemporary form to lost lace-making histories. \nOpening drinks 11 October 3-6pm\nSound Demo and Artist talk: 18 October 3-4pm\nCecilia Heffer and Mara Schwerdtfeger \nOpen daily 11-19 October\n11am – 5pm \nwww.ceciliaheffer.com \nCecilia.Heffer@uts.edu.au

SUMMARY:Correspondence from a Thin Place
DESCRIPTION:  \nBarometer Gallery / 13 Gurner St. Paddington / Presented by Kudos\n8-15 July 2025 \nAlluding to histories of pyromancy\, an ancient practice where the movements\, sounds\, and colours of flames are read for omens or messages from another world\, Correspondence from a Thin Place asks if and how we can read messages from beyond\, who gets to interpret them\, and how communication crosses from the immaterial to the material. Here\, drawing is a translative medium between worlds\, and flame is an interlocutor: something that speaks to those who know how to listen. \nTia Madden’s practice is concerned with the porous boundaries between drawing and writing\, the politics of interpretation\, the poetics of illegibility\, and the potential for abstract marks to behave communicatively when framed – or misread – as language. Calling on the speculative-fictional and archaeological\, she creates expanded drawing installations and asks them to act as vessels for communication— even if they only speak in worlds outside our own. \nOpen every day: 10 am – 5 pm

SUMMARY:INTERMEZZO
DESCRIPTION:  \nINTERMEZZO\nEDUARDO SANTOS \nIntermezzo: a musical term denoting a transitional passage. This idea of the intermezzo resonates with my current process\, as I find myself returning to old ways of painting. A transition between past and future\, between urban and rural life\, as the work assumes shifts in dimension and palette. The tension between introspection\, nostalgia and the perpetual surge of the elements\, the volume of the sky\, and the mutability of the sea. \nFlux\, firmament and textural illusion forge the depth of each work. Metamorphosis is both a metaphor and the physical expression of my own desire for change. They are propelled by contradiction\, restless and at peace. They are deliberately staged intervals\, offering sanctuary in the face of upheaval. \nOpening April 16\, 5 pm to 8 pm\nOpen from 10 am to 4 pm. Closed public holidays. \nImages.\nDivina 150 x 120cm\nTranscendia 162 x 190cm\nAether 162 x 185cm\nVista 170 x 200cm

SUMMARY:META MORPHEUS
DESCRIPTION:  \nJo Allsop\, Hobart Hughes and Penny Simons. \nOctober 25th –  November 1st\nOpen daily 10 – 4pm\nOpening Saturday 26th October 4 – 6pm \n‘Meta Morpheus’ alludes to and plays with the term metamorphosis\, the intention being a chimeric transformation of its original meaning. Meta here is used to describe a subject that transcends its original limits. Morpheus who as the Greek god of dreams and sleep\, bears messages from the underworld to be interpreted subliminally by the cognisant self. \nIn this intriguing show\, the artists offer a sense of the subconscious and the sublime. In the main gallery will be a symbiotic salon hang which will flow through to the second gallery into a dreamscape of luminescent works. \nThe sculptural creations of Hobart Hughes offer both whimsical and sinister characters through mixed media which include ceramic\, wood\, metal and animation. \nUsing natural fibres and found objects\, Penny Simons expresses her strong connection to the natural world with a philosophical need to avoid waste and create beauty from her chosen materials. \nJo Allsop is a figurative painter who looks for beauty in the mundane and the brilliance of a vast landscape\, who takes time to marvel at the impossibility of this world\, from the micro to the macro. \nImages\nWing\, Penny Simons\nEstonian Tree God\, Hobart Hughes\nTree\, Jo Allsop \nPenny Simons\nWeb: https://www.pennysimons.com/\nEmail: pennysimons.art@gmail.com\nInstagram: @penny_simons \nJo Allsop\nEmail: jojoallsop@gmail.com\nInstagram: @joallsop \nHobart Hughes\nWeb: https://hobarthughes.com/other-wooden\nEmail: hugzelpod@gmail.com\nInstagram: @hobart_hughes

SUMMARY:Myth & Signification
DESCRIPTION:  \nKudos Offsite presents Myth & Signification\, an exhibition that invites four artists to reflect upon modern mythmaking and the ability of myth to distort and shape meaning. Through sculpture\, installation\, painting and textiles\, myth and counter-myth are explored as devices for investigating the potentiality of oppositional perspectives and utopian ideas in resisting the creation of a world without contradiction. \nDonna Haraway wrote\, “it matters what stories make worlds\, what worlds make stories.” In order to make these worlds\, to suspend reality\, Roland Barthes wrote about Myth and its ability to abolish the complexity of human acts with the intention of creating a world without contradiction. Myth accomplishes this as a kind of metalanguage\, using signs as signifiers to distort meaning and generate new narratives. In The Robbery of Language Roland Boer claims that the crafting of “a world without contradiction” is an undeniable acknowledgement of erasing other perspectives in favour of a singular vision. \nMyth and Signification invites four artists to reflect upon myth and counter-myth as building blocks for such worlds and to consider the relationship between oppositional perspectives and the discourses that dominate them through the utilisation of myth’s power to distort meaning. Through sculpture\, video\, painting and installation myth and counter-myth are explored as devices for investigating the contradictions in mythical semiology and the potentiality of oppositional perspectives in resisting the creation of a world without contradiction. \nOpening night: 24/07/24 – 6:00 – 8:30PM \nExhibition open for viewing daily 25/07/24 – 31/07/24 10AM to 5PM \nArtists:\nAstrid Bell\nSydney Jarrett\nNic Narapiromkwan Foo\nHarrison Rae

SUMMARY:Blow Your Own Trumpet
DESCRIPTION:  \nBlow Your Own Trumpet – an exhibition of mobiles and kinetic sculpture by Tina Matthews \nWellington-born Tina Matthews has been an artist and maker for over four decades. Honing her skills as a puppet maker\, book author and illustrator and embroiderer\, her aesthetic is both heartfelt and original. Beating beneath the soul of her work is the imagination of an inventor. For thirty years her commercially successful black and white mobile for newborns has delighted babies the world over and fostered their cognitive development. Matthews worked for many years for Australia’s national puppet company the Marionette Theatre of Australia\, was also employed on Jim Henson’s movie Labyrinth and ABC TV puppet show ‘The Ferals’ all the while teaching puppetry at NIDA for 30 years. She has written and illustrated four picture books and one of these\, ‘Waiting for Later’\, was featured in the State Library of NSW’s 2023 exhibition ‘Imagine- the wonder of picture books’. \nIn this show Tina Matthews presents kinetic sculptures constructed from found and reworked materials that include steel and copper\, wood\, silk threads\, glassine and shellac. These joyful sculptures perform in any breeze that passes and have a parallel life in the shadows they throw on all surrounding surfaces. \n“I have been a puppet maker and puppeteer for many years\, so movement is integral to my three-dimensional work. Having these mobiles and their shadow-selves around me is to be amongst living things; they are unpredictable and constantly amusing in their perpetual performance\, dancing with the air and trying to get my attention. Some shapes and colours appeared to me in dreams\, others arose from memories of childhood fabrics. Some simply began with a name.” \nDo not miss the opportunity to step into the magical world of this diverse and little known artist. \nExhibition dates and times:\nWednesday 1st to Saturday 11th November\, 2023\, Opening Wednesday 1st 6-8pm\nWednesday-Sunday 11- 6pm and by appointment Monday 6th or Tuesday 7th \nm. 0490206123\nttinamatthews.com \n@ttinamatt  @blackandwhitebabymobile

SUMMARY:WOVEN
DESCRIPTION:  \nWOVEN by Liz Williamson \nAs our world is overwhelmed with issues arising from fast fashion / textiles industries\, an individual response is to use what we have – repurposing\, recycling\, circulating existing materials. The idea of making do – using readily available materials for clothing and objects for warmth\, protection or to beautify a home has been central to women’s domestic craft practices for centuries and has been central to Williamson’s practice for the past decade. This exhibition shows ‘new’ work created from waste\, excess materials\, archived designs\, old clothes\, or other materials. \nThese pieces woven by Liz Williamson have been shown in previous solo or international exhibitions and this exhibition allows for a ‘second look’ at Barometer Gallery during September 2023. Pieces include works from her ‘sac’ series\, early works woven with plant dyed fabric and other works created from readily available materials. \nDates – 2 to 30 September 2023 \nOpening – Saturday 2 September from 3pm to 5pm. \nWOVEN can be seen through the gallery windows each day until 10pm at night. \nBarometer Gallery will be open from 11am to 5pm on Saturday 2\, 16\, 23 and 30 September 2023. Closed Saturday 9 September. \nTo make an appointment between 11am to 5pm on a Thursday or Friday during September please ring 0409 569 591. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Men in the Mountains
DESCRIPTION:Men in the Mountains\nFound photographs selected and printed by Catherine Rogers\nMay 31 – July 2\, 2023\nOpen by appointment \nThe negative photographs used in this exhibition were taken by an unknown group of about four men on a short visit to the Blue Mountains around 1930. It appears that they shared a camera to photograph each other posed at various tourist sites they visited on a clear sunny day in the mountains. \nThe prints made from these negatives are imitation cyanotypes (blue-prints) The negatives were found in a market in the 1980s. There were no corresponding prints. \nTo make the prints you see here\, each black and white negative was digitally scanned and then worked in Photoshop to look like a cyanotype print. Blue seemed to fit these images. Cyanotype prints themselves\, however\, have never been very popular. The process was used to print postcards in the early twentieth century but was rarely used to image people. The cyanotype process itself was invented by Sir John Herschel around about 1840-1841 and is not only one of the earliest viable photographic print processes invented it is also one of the most long-lasting. \nScanned and printed from the original black and white negatives by Catherine Rogers \nPigment ink prints on cotton rag paper A2 size\, $350 ea unframed \nPlease call 0449 235 160 for an appointment

SUMMARY:Composing Earth and Sky
DESCRIPTION:  \nComposing Earth and Sky\nCatriona Pollard and Belinda Piggott \nComposing Earth and Sky brings together sculptural works that explore concepts inspired by natural environments and our personal connection to them. \nConcerned with humankind’s detachment from the natural world\, the artists use materials that are formed in the earth and grow towards the sky to embody this dilemma.  With their hands and hearts\, they work with their material’s innate qualities to co-create forms that respond to their own environment and personal stories.  These are inextricably linked to their landscape – both earth and sky. \nBy building new foundations and exploring alternative possibilities the artists compose forms that express respect for the tenacity of nature and inevitability of change. \nCombining human influence with natural processes\, the works highlight we are connected by our existence and experience of living together on this planet. By relinquishing control of nature\, we move towards harmony between earth and sky. \n25 March – 2 April 2023\nOpening: Saturday 25 March\, 2-4pm\nOpen: 10-4pm every day \nImages\nCatriona Pollard – Holding a gaze the universe saw\nBelinda Piggott – Recomposing\, a work in progress \nArtist bios:\nCatriona Pollard\nCatriona Pollard is a contemporary artist who uses traditional basketry techniques to transform foraged plant fibres into organic sculptural works. Her unique sculptural work investigates human’s personal connection with the natural world. \nBy transforming organic material into sculptures\, she presents an opportunity to be enchanted by the natural world and the stories it shares. Through her sculptures\, she uses nature as a way to connect with people that goes beyond physical beauty\, but touches them in a personal and profound way. Ultimately aiming to reignite people’s relationship with nature for the wellbeing of both the human and more than human worlds. \nBy sharing dialogue with natural materials and allowing them to inform the narrative of her artwork\, it means that stories are formed and shared from the landscape in transformational ways – in a language that provides new meanings and relationships with spirit\, nature\, humans and the landscape – and the interconnectedness of all. \nTheartofweaving.com.au\n @catrionapollard \nBelinda Piggott\nBelinda lives and works on the unceded land of the Gadigal and Wangal people of the Eora Nation.  Working primarily with sculpture\, various bodies of work reference the urban landscape\, waterways and the sky.  She views her art practice as a portal to explore new ideas; through research\, experimentation\, and collaboration she challenges her own assumptions and the status quo. \nHer unusual process may involve working with large knives and cleavers.  At times deliberately breaking seemingly resolved work\, she then begins a process of recomposing.  Through these actions new foundations and alternative possibilities emerge. \nWhile addressing concerns about the environmental challenges faced by our planet\, and beyond\, Belinda is constantly amazed at the tenacity of nature and how it emerges – in some form – despite harm inflicted.  Her work reflects acceptance our future depends on cultivating harmony between technology and nature. \nBelindapiggott.com\n @belindapiggott_article
