This weekend brought a couple of endings that are also beginnings.
We had a steady stream
of visitors and some very lively conversations during the final day of Tall Tales. But for much of the work,
this was just the first step. An extended version of the artist book
installation will be included in Wonder Room,
a forthcoming group exhibition at Maroondah Art Gallery, which opens on 17
October.
Although today is the
last day of Borders and Crossings,
the Goldfields Printmakers exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ballarat, this too is
only its first stop. The exhibition will shortly head to Scotland for the
IMPACT 8 Printmaking Symposium at the University of Dundee (28 August – 1
September). And in 2014 the show will travel to Wharepuke Gallery in New
Zealand. (See also Blog Post Tuesday, May 14, 2013).
My two linocuts in Borders and Crossings (pictured above in
situ at the Art Gallery of Ballarat) are part of a small portfolio of
‘unnatural history’ prints, a work in progress also destined for the Wonder Room exhibition.
