Drawing on Material Things

Helen Fuller

Helen Fuller remembers her childhood activities of the 50s - sewing at school, cross stitching on gingham, the importance of getting her knitting tension right. This culture of making and crafting is reflected in her paintings and ceramics today, in the assembly of fine lines and grids in her paintings and in the simplicity of her pinch pots and coil pots which belies their sophistication.

Kay Lawrence

Kay Lawrence is one of Australia's pre-eminent tapestry and textile artists. In this exhibition she pays tribute to those who taught her how to transform fibre materials into baskets. β€œTo engage in the temporal rhythms of basket making is to experience each moment of making as a continuity that entwines past, present and future. This insight is the unspoken gift my teachers gave me as they shared their skills.” Her work reveals the processes of making and drawing - transforming material things into artworks.

Olga Sankey

Olga Sankey has been making and exhibiting print-based works for more than 30 years. She is interested in the relationship of image and text and the layering of visual information. Working digitally has also allowed her to combine textual fragments with either original or appropriated imagery. In this exhibition, found, hand drawn and digitally manipulated photographic material has been incised, drawn and printed onto both natural and synthetic materials. The source material for the imagery includes veined marble, marbled meat and cracked mobile phone screens.
