French & Japanese handmade paper, beeswax, poker work, pins, antique glass beads, echidna quills
Bronwyn truly loves & understands paper and explores the underlying patterns of nature that hold our world together
Marguerite Derricourt‘s “Travelling Light 2011″ is a big spiral of handmade paper moths & spoke so perfectly of the essence of paper, flightiness and the nature of moths.
& Liz Shreeve‘s formal explorations of repeating patterns of form, light and colour are subtly fabulous
Maryann Mussared folds & reshapes old books into the most beautiful forms
Helen Mueller & Melinda LeGuay are both artists with deep understanding of the nature of paper.
Brigiat Maltese made a beautiful pair of accordion books exploring the landscape with paint and collage
Sally Aplin‘s formal yet playful exercise bags were fun
NerineMartini’s traces 1-12 explore the idea of fingerprints on delicate Nepalese paper
Jenny Pollak explores the nature of origins by metaphorically & physically cutting a journey through time & paper.
Tianli Zu slices her way through the surface of the page on a huge scale to find not only what lies beneath but also in the liminal spaces in-between
There was so much more & I will try to get back to photograph the show, openings are great for getting a chance to talk to the artists but not so good for taking photographs!
