This exhibition marks 25 years since I graduated as a visual arts major. Focusing on surface design, I have taken a fluid approach to media and techniques, experimenting according to my needs. A creative block left me wondering whether my inspiration had evaporated. The Argentum exhibition rejuvenated my practice – an elemental free-flow of ideas took on botanical qualities, as tendrils reached out to new forms of expression while roots burrowed deeper into my own history than ever before.

Argentum : Latin for silver, celebrates 25 years of “cross-pollination”  …  a silver jubilee of sorts.

Inner City: the glass towers, their reflected surfaces and changing forms – Inner Self: concerns of feelings; vulnerability, determination & commitment

Using three photographs, (depicting two prominent inner city buildings) as source material, the works evolve around the resultant strong visual images. Works include Artists Books and framed Collage using photographs, some photocopied & digitally manipulated with hand and machine stitched handmade (fibre) papers, silk & cotton fabrics.

Access to the photocopies of Cannon Australia for 6 months allowed for experimentation with manipulating and reconstructing photographic images using their coloured & black & white photocopiers. This work represents part of the results of this experimentation.
