Four Friends, Three Days - exhibiting the shifts of time through textiles and seasons.Shifting Seasons: Textile Art Exhibition is an exciting group exhibition and sale event taking over Richard Randall Art Studio from the 27th to 29th August 2021 (9am - 4pm each day) . Entry is FREE!
It's amazing what happens when artists with a common interest in textiles, experimentation, artwork and the sharing of knowledge come together in one place.Shifting Seasons is the sixth collaborative exhibition of Brisbane-based artists Tricia Smout, Sue Ford, Karoline Cumming and Lyn Baxter, and showcases an eclectic, sumptuous range of beautifully hand-crafted artworks including wearables, homewares, gifts and jewellery to admire and purchase.
Each of the artists are from different backgrounds, varying experiences and have vastly different styles, but they all share one important thing: a passion for expressing themselves through textiles. The result is a beautifully diverse array of work that excites, intrigues and delves deeper into the essence of seasonal change in life, love, colour, emotion, family and age.
"Ultimately it's an exploration of our inner-most selves as we experience what life has to give us," explains Karoline."Changes and shifts affect us all at one point or another. It's that common path that brings us together as friends and allows us to admire each other as artists. Even though our experiences and stories are individual, the different seasons of life create a certain commonality between us."On display is a sumptuous mix of wearable textiles, wall hangings and gifts, with most items available for sale. They incorporate textiles, fibres, yarns, fabrics, papers and mixed media in felting, calligraphy, quilting, embroidery, bookmaking, silk painting, eco-dyeing, beading, braiding, polymer clay, silver and metalwork, printing, collage and more.
Shifting Seasons is the perfect opportunity for art and textile lovers to see how the artists' unique styles contrast and complement each other through an exploration of change, discovery and self- expression.
The artists will all be onsite each day to discuss artworks and demonstrate techniques.
All are welcome to come along on Friday 27th, Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th August 2021, 9am-4pm daily.Richard Randall Art Studio is located at Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mt Coot-tha Road, Toowong.Come along with your family and friends and spend a leisurely day in the Gardens amongst the spring blooms.
