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

SUMMARY:Second Look: remade and reimagined textiles
DESCRIPTION:  \nSecond Look: remade and reimagined textiles \nSecond Look: remade and reimagined textiles exhibition reflects on how handmade textiles are made\, archived\, used and re used by makers. Exhibitors have saved\, stored and archived pieces they have made in the past and reworked them into ‘new’ artworks or have collected interesting textiles to repurpose them into ‘new’ artworks. Second Look: remade and reimagined textiles incudes stitched\, pieced\, collaged\, recoloured and re woven textiles and exhibitors have used whatever technique they think appropriate to re-contextualising their textiles into new works. Both approaches create pieces full of memory with traces of use\, history and a past life. All exhibitors value their materials\, the hand made and in this exhibition are giving textiles a new life\, a Second Look. \nWednesday 26 October to 13 November 2022\nOpen: Wednesday to Sunday\, 11am to 5pm each day.\nOpening event: Saturday 29 October\, 3 to 6pm.\nArtist talks with Emma Peters\, Melinda Young and Michele Elliot at the opening. \nArtists: Jane Bodnaruk\, Mary Burgess\, Vita Cochran\, Ro Cook\, Michele Elliot\, Nicole Ellis\, Vivien Haley\, Beth Hatton\, Wendy Holland\, Chris Hutch\, Brenda Livermore\, Christina Newberry\, John Parkes\, Emma Peters\, Julia Raath\, Sylvia Riley\, Barbara Rogers\, Julie Ryder\, Liz Williamson and Melinda Young. \nSecond Look: remade and reimagined textiles exhibition catalogue with artwork details\, artists statements and images of works is available to view online or download. \n     \nImage: Brenda Livermore\, Ground Lines 2021/22

SUMMARY:Dancing Through Disaster
DESCRIPTION:  \nDancing Through Disaster\nJane Theau \nOctober 5-16\,\nOpen Wednesday -Sunday 11-5pm\nRepair Café October 15 \nFire\, flood and Covid have characterised the last few years – it’s been a tough time. Our house on the South Coast was surrounded by fire in January 2020\, devastating the bush for miles around and traumatising communities. My daughter’s house was inundated in this year’s floods that affected so many in northern NSW and southern Queensland. And the lockdowns caused by the pandemic meant that my PhD exhibition in 2021\, representing four years of work\, couldn’t be seen by friends and family (not even by the examiners!) The pandemic had a huge and detrimental effect on artists everywhere as exhibitions were cancelled and creative momentum came to an abrupt stop. I responded to this time with the sculptures and embroidered paintings in this exhibition. They are all made of repurposed materials\, a reflection of my effort to have a sustainable practice. \nThe first sculpture series Urchin Barren is made from the sea urchin spines of Heliocidaris erythrogramma collected on the South Coast. As oceans warm sea urchins are migrating to the poles\, feasting on algae along the way to create ‘urchin barrens’. They have become indicators of climate change. The second series\, Retired\, celebrates the necessary retirement of coal-fired power generation to address the heating world. Made of elements from an old electric stove\, their Modernist aesthetic reflects well the era of rapid construction of coal-fired power stations post WWII. The embroidered paintings are a new element in my practice. As with my thread portraits\, they are made of ink-infused tarlatan collected from the garbage bins of the print room at the UNSW School of Art and Design. \nDespite the hard times there is always much to be grateful for\, and this is expressed in the joyous series of thread portraits of dancers in motion completed for the production\, On View: Panoramic Suite\, by choreographer/filmmaker Sue Healey. (The first performances of On View were held in February 2020 in Yokohama. Moored outside the theatre was the quarantined Diamond Princess cruise ship\, symbol of the early pandemic panic). The exuberant nature of dance created a beautiful ambiance in my studio and through this collaboration with Sue I was able to experience the joy of working with performers in theatrical settings. The experience added another\, deeper layer to my practice that I hope is conveyed in the expressions on the dancers’ faces and the movement of their limbs. \nJane Theau \nDancing Through Disaster is a Sydney Craft Week event.\nIn keeping with the Craft Week themes of sustainability and climate change I will be\nhosting a free textile Repair Café in the gallery on Saturday October 15.\nBookings: Jane Theau – 0415 110 123.

SUMMARY:DRAWING THE LINE: handwoven tapestries by Sara Lindsay
DESCRIPTION:  \nDRAWING THE LINE: handwoven tapestries by Sara Lindsay\nSeptember 17 – October 2\nOpen: Wednesday – Sunday 11-5pm.\nOpening: 2-4pm\, Saturday\, September 17. \nSara Lindsay’s career spans a period of over 45 years. She has held several positions at the Australian Tapestry Workshop and completed her MA (Research)\, Positioning the stripe\, at RMIT University in 2003. Her tapestries have been acquired by numerous public collections\, including the National Gallery of Australia\, the National Gallery of Victoria and the Powerhouse Museum. \nThis exhibition brings together a selection of artworks completed since 2009\, which celebrate Lindsay’s ongoing interest in the relationship between weaving\, drawing and material culture. \nCargo and Cargo: china tea cinnamon ticking are drawn from a body of work where she was exploring her mother’s life as a colonial child in Sri Lanka. A large blue and white plate that has travelled from China to Sri Lanka\, then to England and later to Australia has been translated into tapestry\, repairing its many cracks and acknowledging Lindsay’s maternal line. Cinnamon quills appear as objects of trade and stimulate strong sensory memories of recent family visits to the ‘Spice Island’. \nThe small Tatami Drawings were commenced during a residency in Kyoto\, added to in Lisbon and completed in Melbourne. The tapestries grew intuitively on the loom with no preconceived design. Plant dyed yarn (the colour of gingko leaves) evokes Lindsay’s autumnal walks in each city. \n@slindsay.studio \nImage\nTatami Drawings No 1-4\, 2021\nCotton\, linen and hemp\n40 x 76 cm overall

SUMMARY:Imbricate - Quilts and other textiles
DESCRIPTION:  \nTextile artists share their love of land and water \nTake a journey through Australian waterways and landscapes in a unique exhibition by leading textile artists Alison Muir and Dianne Finnegan at Barometer Gallery in Paddington from 17 to 28 August. \nIn Imbricate – Quilts and other textiles\, both artists share the fruits of their fascination with the physical environment – Muir’s preoccupation with water\, Finnegan’s with the land. \nMuir has experimented with natural dyes and mordants\, using indigo and Australian flora as her source material over the past 10 years. She starts with a “water message” and the design is generated using appropriate research\, techniques\, colours and stitching with unconnected traditions such as dyed textiles and political comment\, scientific details and text in natural dyed textile landscapes and seascapes. \n“All my works deliver messages\, sometimes political\, environmental and always passionate about our water environment\,” Muir said. “Textiles and my creative art continue to give my life value as part of my rehabilitation from an ongoing neurological condition and I’m delighted to be able to share that in this exhibition which has special significance for me.” \nFinnegan’s affinity to the landscapes around her and landform development was sparked by her early study of Geomorphology and\, following her later study of quilt-making in Canada\, the themes flow through her non-traditional textile work. \n“The two seemingly different fields both require spatial analysis and representation and gradually the two interests merged\,” Finnegan said. “Mapping is an abstraction of the landscape and my quilts are a more abstract form of mapping.” \nThe lockdown provided the artists with an opportunity to focus on their creative endeavours and generate new works for their joint exhibition. \n“Two of these quilts are a product of my productive period in lockdown and I’m inspired to share my love of landscapes and the art of quilting to established as well as new audiences\, especially as quilting has seen a resurgence in recent years\,” Finnegan said. “Textile art\, particularly using recycled materials\, is more popular than ever due to the pandemic as it provides a therapeutic and healing way to relax and explore our creativity.” \nBoth artists have been widely exhibited internationally and nationally\, with works represented in public and private collections. \nWednesdays 12pm to 8pm and Thursdays to Sundays 11am to 6pm.\nwww.muirandmuir.com.au\nwww.diannefinnegan.com.au \nImages:\nDianne Finnegan\, Laterite Profile.\nAlison Muir\, Last Frontier.

SUMMARY:Karrikins: A solo photographic exhibition by Rob Walwyn
DESCRIPTION:Barometer Gallery  / www.barometer.net.au   /  www.robwalwyn.com\nWednesday 24 November – Sunday 28 November 2021 \nA solo photographic exhibition in November 2021 documenting the aftermath of the recent 2019-20 Australian bushfires using the discontinued and extremely rare Kodak Aerochrome false-colour infrared film. \nThe name Karrikins refers to a set of chemicals that are produced as a result of wildfires and can stimulate the regrowth of certain plants. For this series I have used both medium format and 35mm Kodak Aerochrome film\, a false-colour infrared film developed by Kodak in tandem with the US Military during World War 2\, which was originally designed to detect enemy camouflage. Aerochrome captures the infrared light reflecting off the regrowth in lurid shades of pink and red\, which contrasts against the burnt and blackened trees\, evoking images of the flickering flames that crept up these trees only months earlier. \nThis exhibition is part of HeadOn Photo Festival (which runs from the 21st to 28th of November)\, with one of my images from this series being selected as a semi-finalist in the Landscape category of HeadOn 2021 Photo Awards. \nKarrikins will run from Wednesday 24th of November 2021 to Sunday 28th November. \nThe majority of the exhibition can easily be viewed through the two large gallery windows each day and evening. \nFor enquiries\, please contact Rob at rob.walwyn@gmail.com or on Instagram @robwalwyn \nOpening Hours:\nWednesday (opening night): 6-830PM\nThursday and Friday: 3-7PM\nSaturday: 10AM-7PM\nSunday: 10AM-5PM

SUMMARY:Art Textile Biennale 2020
DESCRIPTION:Fibre Arts Australia is highlighting the contemporary practice within Art Textiles as an art form in this\, the inaugural Art Textile Biennale. It has long been a dream of the founder of Fibre Arts Australia\, Glenys Mann\, to highlight art textiles and with the assistance of her business partner\, Nonie Sutcliffe and the generosity of the director Crystal Stubbs and her team at the East Gippsland Art Gallery in Bairnsdale\, the dream has materialised. \nArt Textiles is a term derived to express emotions and feelings using a media that has been used since the dawn of time. With many working with cloth and fibre\, the subtle marks of stitch show an extraordinary diversity of methods that are applied by 29 artists from 16 countries including Australia. Traditional and non-traditional techniques being utilised in a contemporary practice\, the repeated touch in these works is very gratifying. \nViewers will be captivated and engaged by the rhythm of the maker and excellence that is exhibited. The selected works in this inaugural award pushes previously held notions of textile/fibre\, opening a dialogue about what it is to be a textile artist that makes an expression and commentary on content and concept in the 21st Century. \nThe finalists show a well resolved concept combined with exploratory and expert use of their chosen material. From intimate reflections to huge environmental issues\, the works vary in concepts\, techniques\, material and presentation. \nFrom the work of one’s hands\, these works are from artists who present themselves in varied ways as Masters in a technique that is so inherent within their art practice. \nThere is a common thread of innovation\, experimentation beside professional practice with a focus on contemporary as never before. Fibre Arts Australia is committed to developing this significant award with it original vision and intentions so that Art Textile practitioners continue to expand\, grow and inspire. \nGlenys Mann \n  \nIf you are not able to see the Biennale\, here is a video of the exhibition \n \nOpening Saturday 12 June 2021\, 3 – 5pm \nHours: Wednesday – Sunday 12 – 5pm\, or by appointment. \nFibre Arts Australia \nMob: 0417 446 287 – Glenys Mann\nEmail: mail@fibrearts.net.au\nWebsite: www.fibrearts.net.au\nInsta: www.instagram.com/fibreartsaustralia/

SUMMARY:Stories Told ... by inspired makers
DESCRIPTION:  \nSTORIES TOLD … by inspired makers\nNarratives of the handmade object\, by inspired makers. \nEvery handmade object has a narrative\, the history or ‘story’ of its making. Whether it is the source of the raw materials – the particular clay site\, pigment\, dye\, metal\, timber or threads\, the nature and origin of the necessary tools\, or the inspiration behind individual patterns and motifs\, the story of each handmade object is unique. \nIn the hands of skilled artisans and craft makers there lies not only the history of the individual maker but the traditions\, knowledge and techniques passed on by all the makers before\, often woven through generations\, and all intertwined with the folkloric history of craft itself. \nSTORIES TOLD is a Craftnsw exhibition of original handmade craft by members of The Society of Arts and Crafts of New South Wales.  Founded in 1906\, the organization is the oldest craft association in Australia. Its members are affiliated with craft Guilds and are both teachers and practitioners. The Society has a rich history of exhibiting and supporting craft workers for over a century\, through many different homes and retail outlets\, however with advent of Covid-19 and closure of the Millers Point gallery\, Craftnsw has been trading online and through selected exhibitions. \nSTORIES TOLD at Barometer Gallery will showcase a range of quality handmade crafts including textiles\, paper\, timber\, glass\, ceramics and jewelry from Society artisans with a sound ethic for producing excellence in both contemporary and traditional techniques. \nAlongside works produced by its members\, the exhibition features the work of two young guest artists\, contemporary jeweller Naoka Takase and woodworker Hape Kiddle\, continuing the charters’ missive to encourage emerging artisans and encourage the continuation of a quality craft tradition. \n  \nSaturday 15 – Sunday 30 May 2021. \nMondays to Saturdays 10.00am – 6.00pm; Sundays 10.00am – 3.30pm \nMeet the Makers 2.00 – 4.00pm Saturday 15 May \n  \nwww.artsandcraftsnsw.com.au\nemail: gallery@artsandcraftsnsw.com.au \nhttps://www.instagram.com/craftnsw/ \nhttps://www.facebook.com/craftsnsw \n

DESCRIPTION:FOURTH WALL\nscenes from the forest \nA solo exhibition by artist Anne Levitch. \nThrough installation\, sculpture and photography\, FOURTH WALL explores the contemporary relevance of the traditional fairy tale as codice of ancient wisdom.  Storylines shapeshift and evolve through millennia\, presenting narratives of adversity\, struggle\, transformation and re-emergence often including the uncanny.  FOURTH WALL presents a mise-en-scène to the viewer\, a metafictional forest\, where they break the fourth wall in reverse\, joining the fairy tale characters on ‘stage’ by entering the narrative topos. \nThe forest is common to many fairy tales.  Jack Zipes states ‘inevitably they find their way into the forest.  It is there that they lose and find themselves.  It is there that they gain a sense of what is to be done.  The forest is always large\, immense\, great\, and mysterious.  No one ever gains power over the forest\, but the forest possesses the power to change lives and alter destinies.’ \nThe setting is developed around the established philosophical framework of magical realism with layers of both time and space exploring the impact of fairy tale on reality\, reality on fairy tale\, creating space for the viewer in between. \nReference:\nZipes\, J.  ‘The Brothers Grimm:  From Enchanted Forests to the Modern World’\, 2002  p.65   Palgrave MacMillan \nThe artistic and curatorial practice of Anne Levitch centres on the visual representation of embedded cultural memory\, of societal attitudes and their traces.  Her work responds to what she sees as layered cultural\, community\, family and personal scripts.  In her research\, Levitch engages with the philosophical\, the psychological\, and metaphysical influences of cultural heritage.  She responds to these investigations with experimental 3D works\, installations\, drawing\, print\, photographic and video works.  She is actively involved in exploring the unseen\, in making it more visible. \n  \nAPRIL 30 – MAY 9 2021 \nOPENING: Saturday  1st MAY   /  4 – 6pm\nHOURS: Tuesday – Sunday 11 – 6pm\, or by appointment \nphone: +61 407 99 88 36\nemail: anne@levitch.net.au\nwebsite: www.annelevitch.com.au\ninstagram: annelevitch

SUMMARY:The Space Between
DESCRIPTION:  \nTHE SPACE BETWEEN\nAn exploration of parameters of illusional space \nA collaboration between textile designer BARBARA ROGERS and painter HELEN REDMOND\, The Space Between looks at the complicity\, dissonance and illusion that exists in the slippage between surfaces: between the viewer and the frame\, between light and shadow\, between real and imagined. \nThe title of the exhibition throws weight behind the capacity of the unseen to shift our perceptions of space\, light and time. The space that draws our eye to the actual or imaginary space beyond the periphery. Here is space that asserts abstraction over materiality and poetics over utility. \nTaking a subliminal architectural framework as their starting point\, the two artists explore spatial parameters by parallel but distinctly independent means. \nThe Space Between is an ephemeral\, liminal journey through spaces both real and illusional. Embracing the Zen concept of silent space\, the viewer is invited to reflect on the primacy of the interval\, the pause and the place of ambiguous time. \nTHE ARTISTS:\nTextile designer BARBARA ROGERS has gained international acclaim for her innovative work using shibori\, an ancient Japanese resist dye technique. The lure of creating textiles as an independent art form was a natural progression for Rogers who originally trained in fashion design at the National Art School. Working primarily on silks her process is essentially a reductive one\, using clamped-resist carved boards with traditional arashi (pole wrapped) techniques to discharge dyes from the fabrics. The cloth is then overdyed in other colours to produce highly complex designs. The juxtaposition of colour and transparency alternately hide or reveal the layers behind\, adding tension and weight to both the ‘negative’ space between dyed and undyed areas in each panel\, including the vacant airspace created between the separate layers. The multiple layers of Rogers’ large-scale installations meld to dissolve the spaces between\, creating a new and ethereal visual interaction. \nHELEN REDMOND’s paintings explore the response of space to light; the way light reacts to people\, objects and spaces in the built environment. A graduate of the National Art School\, Helen’s painting practice draws deeply on her experience as a design editor and interiors stylist. In these temporal memories of abstract space\, vision is guided by light from the concrete to the nuanced or imagined space that exists beyond the confines of the canvas\, questioning our perceptions of space and time. The layered applications of oil paint and translucent glazes give immersive depth\, adding patina and veils of colour that accrete and compress time and memory into the surface. The quietly evocative images mediate between abstract space and silent space: the compelling void. \nBoth artists view their parallel references to architectural structure as subliminal rather than literal. Barbara’s father was a Sydney architect\, and his indirect influence informs the urban geometry of her work. For Helen\, ‘chasing the light’ with professional photographers to capture the space of architectural interiors forged her aesthetic. Her engagement with space is both metaphysical and concrete. \n  \nOpening Saturday 10 April 2021\, 3 – 5pm \nHours: Wednesday – Sunday 11 – 5pm\, or by appointment.
