Gallery gleanings

 As part of a renewed focus on slowing down and enjoying things, and also investing in the idea of an art-filled life, Barry and I are trying to make a time each week to visit/view some art.  We managed that last week in Maryborough (see previous post) and the week before that, we headed to Caboolture and saw two amazing Indigenous Art exhibitions.  Some of my favourite moments follow.

Vernon Ah Kee - exploring notions of becoming; and identity.

I refuse you my death by Dale Harding.  Kangaroo hides, re-stitched and re-formed .

The most beautiful display...

The photograph of the attribution panel for the works above and directly below is completely blurry and I apologise for no attribution. The display was part of Manggan - gather, gathers, gathering featuring Indigenous artists from Girringun Aboriginal Art Centre alongside collected objects from the South Australian Museum.

These works are Bagu with Jiman - traditional fire-making tools of the Girrigun rainforest Aboriginal people.

Breathtaking in many ways.

It was due to this visit to the Greater Brisbane Region that we then had to go into self-isolation for three days - worth every minute of it. We didn't go there knowing that we might have to isolate, the government decision came about two days later.
