All Stitched Up is an exhibition by Paper Makers and Artists of Queensland, being held at the Gympie Regional Gallery from 22 February to 23 March 2024.
The Gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday, 10am - 4pm.
Three of my pieces were selected for this exhibition and I am thrilled to have them shown in such a fabulous venue, with so many other wonderful paper artists.
The first piece is called Postcards Home and I have blogged about it previously here.
"Contemplating home in two places; sending messages from here to there and back again…"
Handmade paper from recycled and natural fibres, botanical dyed threads (agapanthus, rosemary, comfrey, from one place; stinging nettle, thistle, scabiosus from the other), hand stitching, Perspex.
The second piece is called Homecomings I-VII
"Journeying, travelling, moving between two places. Finding home."
Graphite rubbings from two places on Japanese Kozo and Hosho papers, machine stitching, embossing, Arches Velin paper

The final piece is called Home is...?
"Home is stitched together from memories, places, and people."

We hope to visit in the next wee while and see them on show.
I especially appreciate the iconic images of home ... the simple compositions of squares and triangles with doors and windows implied by the piecing within ... how things are often more complex than one might imagine
