a stitch in time... solo show 2022
You are invited to my solo show at Revival Art & Design Gallery

Revival Art & Design Gallery
3/17 Greg Chappell Street, Albion, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Tues - Sat, 9am -4pm
Sun, 10am - 2pm
Referencing a need to restore our relationship with nature, a stitch in time…consists of three series. Flourish, Happy memories, and My happiness celebrate the preciousness of our connections with nature.
All relationships begin with getting to know each other.
In these series, silhouette shapes of Banksia integrifolia and various birds create easily recognizable images referencing profile shadow portraits of the 18th and 19th centuries which were popular in Europe before photography. Stitching throughout the works refers to spending time with and caring for our environment.
My happiness series emphasises our connection to all things seen and unseen.
I would often walk to the local duck-pond, and it would make my day to see all the various wildlife, especially the little fairy wrens. Near where the wrens darted in and out of the hedges they called home, prolonged construction in the park frightened them away. I live in hope for their return, bringing with them my happiness.

Ashleigh Campbell Director NorthSite, Cairns.
International Cairns-based artist Brian Robinson of the Maluyligal and Wuthathi peoples of the Torres Strait and Cape York Peninsula.
I was inspired to make this print for an exhibition last year titled Ecowomen 1 after researching an important eco woman – D'harawal Elder Aunty Francis Bodkin – who holds a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences with five majors, one of which is Environmental Sciences. She combines her indigenous culture's science of observation and experience with modern science of experiments and measurements in order to share a deeper understanding of how to care for our natural environment.

Donna Malone and Rachael Lee create drawings and prints in response to Nature’s capacity to not only nurture and protect herself but also the feelings of humility and gratitude she magnifies within the artist’s spirit.
Inspired by childhood bush adventures and instilled through current observations of local natural environments, Donna and Rachael’s artworks are a celebration of Nature as Sanctuary.

Shortlisted public art concept design for Logan Hospital Car park Facade 2020
My concept design for the Logan Hospital Car park Facade was shortlisted for public consultation in August 2020 for Metro South Health.
The design comprises of silhouettes of the stages of growth of the Banksia integrifolia which is Logan City Council's logo. It shows changes in leaf shape as it matures from tooth edge leaves as a juvenile to smooth edge adult leaves, representing the role of the Logan Hospital in nurturing people from birth to end of life.
A light grey fills the silhouettes representing the underside colour of the Banksia leaves.
Brown surrounds the silhouettes to symbolise the natural surroundings.
Stripes of colours represent the vibrant multi-cultural community of Logan.
You can view the shortlisted designs on Metro South Health's Facebook page
