Over the past year
I've been working towards an exhibition at Ararat Regional ArtGallery.
The exhibition We lost and we won runs from
22nd October to the 6th December.
There will be a
special viewing and an Artist's talk on Saturday the 7th
November at 1pm which is open for anyone to attend.
The work in the
exhibition playfully challenges the way we see victories, inviting
the possibility that in some cases, facing up to the daily hum-drum
of life can be as challenging as winning a race. With
this in mind I have made a series of paintings as well as a
collection of soft, fabric trophies for my friends and family to
recognise their self-professed but otherwise unacknowledged
accomplishments.
Ararat Regional Art
Gallery is at the intersection of Vincent Street and the Western
Highway, Ararat, in the historic late-Victorian Town Hall building.
It is open Monday to Friday 10am – 4.30pm and Saturday, Sunday and
Public Holidays 12-4pm
Ararat is around a
two and a half hour drive from Melbourne at the gateway to the
Grampians region and there are daily Vline trains from Melbourne to
Ararat. A great place for a day trip if your in Melbourne.
Here are some images of some of the work exhibited as well as work in progress.
