The exhibition runs all of August. Don’t miss out It is with great pleasure that we announce that one of our own, Barbara Prichard has been shortlisted among the 127 Finalists in the National Capital Art Prize for 2022. The artwork is entitled “Habitat Weeping” of which Barbara has a description of the work below. Please take the opportunity to vote for in the peoples choice by clicking here. Congratulations Barbara. I hope to convey my connection to and love for the Australian bushland which has suffered so much from fire, logging, and climate change. The silk textiles I have used are reclaimed offcuts from garments I have made, and these have been embedded into a stretched recycled net background then stiffened in part with natural solutions. I have used traditional and contemporary dyeing techniques to extract colour and leaf prints from windfalls left by trees I have planted. My aim is to present the beauty of nature and the poetry within the Australian landscape.  "Our Friends of Gallery 294" Exhibition is coming up and all our friends are encouraged to enter. See below for details. Click here for entry details.   Barbara Pritchard: Artists Statement
While installing my last exhibition, Burnt Offerings, at Gallery 294 a visually impaired customer came in and I suggested to her that she touch the unframed artwork in that exhibition. I found her experience very moving and resolved to produce a body of work that would at least be partly available to touch. This collection of soft sculptural works was informed by that meeting. My dedication to repurposed textiles which are transformed into artworks is evident in this exhibition and all materials used have had a previous life as loved clothing or belongings. The forms have been inspired by my surrounds in the mountain and the natural landscape in which I live and work in the Upper Murray. |
