We're only 8 weeks away from "Nested" opening at the Art Factory Gallery in South Brisbane from 13-20 October. Sue and Bruce worked tirelessly yesterday on the structure of our major piece - giving it form. Over the next few weeks, Ankie, Sue and I will give it life. Can't wait to see what happens and you are more than welcome to come along to the exhibition to see the result up close and personal!
More surprises - the genesis of another of the exhibition pieces - followed by an experiment in wire, paper mache, bandages and silk. There's nothing like the excitement of hooking into a theme and hanging on for the creative ride.
Here is a sneak peek of "Nested" a joint exhibition with Sue George and Ankie King at
the Art Factory Gallery, South Brisbane from 13 - 19 October. In informatics,
nested objects contain other objects of the same kind. Nested information is organised into layers of
related information. Nested objects are recursive, characterised by repetition
and recurrence, where interpretation requires numerous, successive executions. So
the three of us have created our “Nested” works. The exhibition comprises 40 - 50 nests ranging in size from
3 - 100 cm cubed. Nested will be an exhibition of 40-50 “nests”. Some are sculpted from porcelain slip, others
slumped and hand pinched porcelain clay. Some are sculpted from hand dyed
textiles, fibres (natural and manmade) and found objects. Opening night is
Thursday 13 October - from 6pm. If you'd like to share the evening with us,
please contact me (ali at aliquilts dot com dot au).
