Exhibition Time

Welcome to my body of work in the Fuse exhibition at the Counihan gallery and is open till the 18th December 2010.


The works seen here are photographed by Stephen using my little camera at the opening of the Fuse 2010 graduation exhibition, the course I have been fulfilling, now called Textile design and development at RMIT, Brunswick Melbourne at the Counihan Gallery.




The pieces that has been selected to be part of the Fuse exhibition are a length of tapestry with different technique’s of weave that are in the shape of box’s and to go with this is 14 free standing box’s made in tapestry, felt, weave, glass with plastic, machine knitting technique’s.




It was a wonderful night of viewing works that I had heard and seen some works in progress. To then see them finished, selected by the gallery curator which made decisions on what they saw as a body of works both collectively and individually. There were many to catch up with from previous and future students and teachers, then seeing that my work was in the (what I'll call) the cube, was amazing to go through.


I have not included others work as felt I should allow for them to express their own views of the final school exhibition.

I am very happy with the whole experience for I have gained a lot and look forward to more times where my work is exhibited.

Thank you.
