In her work she investigates the relationship between the self and an emotional connection to the landscape. Deliberate simplified mark making is often used to express a celebration of Australia’s iconic landscape. While an artist can experience the sounds, textures, smells, patterns and spaces that make up the landscape, the artistic response can be very individual and, at times, somewhat intangible. Each of her paintings takes on a life of its own, and satisfaction is achieved by creating a painting which expresses interest, beauty and artistic inquiry. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-right: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-right: 0cm;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">Robyn Kinsela is concerned with seeking an honesty of expression in the work – perhaps defined by her own experiences and background. In this exhibition, she is painting the landscape West of Wilcannia as she feels it, not as others would necessarily see it. The approach is therefore abstract and challenges normal visual observations of that landscape. In doing so, the viewer may be disarmed, by transcending the obvious features of this amazing landscape and creating a deeper beauty - a beauty reliant upon experience and memory that comes from within. Sometimes this beauty can be exquisite sometimes unforgiving, harsh and demanding and, for an artist, always challenging. I hope you enjoy this <i>West of Wilcannia</i> exhibition - Robyn Kinsela’s artistic response to what is an amazing Australian landscape.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWleCw73nNlTffuHP7syHr9byz5c0EzCzfgYkYb8ut05it_MePDFyirgSj3OTpiTUVbXvLM5ULIU-hTDTuFwNpQHvXSh-4ioYMcXwckSfup12t-JgDa-9WVZ4GqzVJoeWsw_bwv0VFt5WB/s1600/FormGallery.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWleCw73nNlTffuHP7syHr9byz5c0EzCzfgYkYb8ut05it_MePDFyirgSj3OTpiTUVbXvLM5ULIU-hTDTuFwNpQHvXSh-4ioYMcXwckSfup12t-JgDa-9WVZ4GqzVJoeWsw_bwv0VFt5WB/s1600/FormGallery.jpg" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-right: 0cm; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;"> 1/30 Aurora Avenue Queanbeyan</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-right: 0cm; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">Exhibition hours Monday - Saturday 10 am - 3 pm, Sunday 11 am - 3 pm</span></div>CanberraHandmade.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02297912351487701005noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961825834416377742.post-34272664010237838002011-11-12T19:08:00.002-08:002011-11-12T19:08:41.662-08:00Ruth Hadlow - Summer Masterclass<div style="text-align: center;"><b>Canberra, February 6-10 - </b><b style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Content & Form </b></div><br />
The 2012 Summer Masterclass with Ruth Hadlow, Content & Form, will explore relationships between books, ideas and practice. Umberto Eco proposes that we are formed and informed by the ‘background books’ which have been part of our upbringing and education, which have shaped our ways of comprehending and perceiving the world. In response to this, the masterclass will focus on conventions<br />
and forms derived from literature and the world of books to re/consider and investigate ideas pertinent to individual practice. Content & Form will be structured as a series of one-day projects, aimed at exploring a wide array of possibilities and generating beginnings for a set of new projects. Working in the creative space<br />
between literature, art and artists books, this summer’s masterclass will take a hands-on approach and focus on the act of making as an active strategy for instigating ideas, as a form of logic with its own particular nature. <br />
<br />
[We] travel and explore the world, carrying with us some ‘background books’. These need not accompany us physically; the point is that we travel with preconceived notions of the world, derived from our cultural<br />
tradition. In a very curious sense we travel knowing in advance what we are on the verge of discovering,<br />
because past reading has told us what we are supposed to discover. In other words, the influence of these<br />
background books is such that, irrespective of what travellers discover and see, they will interpret and<br />
explain everything in terms of these books.<br />
<br />
The aim of the Masterclass is to encourage critical engagement with ideas, objects, texts and the surrounding world for the purpose of developing individual practices. The Masterclass provides a supportive environment of fellow artists, project structures to enable focused exploration and investigation, discussions, readings and a wealth of reference material. There is a research element which must be carried out as preparation in advance of the Masterclass, which will provide subject material and references for the project work and discussions. As with previous Masterclasses by Ruth Hadlow, the program aims to stimulate and challenge, to enable debate and innovation, to extend notions of practice, and above all to provide a space for the development of ideas.<br />
<br />
The 5-day residential format enables an intensive program of projects, readings and discussions, with individual guidance from this innovative and inspiring teacher. The 2012 Masterclass will once again be held at a private residence in Yarralumla, Canberra, close to the National Gallery of Australia for excursions and Lake Burley Griffin for early morning walks. Following on from last year, the Masterclass will accept a small number of non-residential participants who may attend on a daily basis. Participant numbers are limited to enable maximum benefit through individual attention.<br />

</span></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">While Craft Australia and the broad constituencies it represents and supports would dispute this decision, the result effectively means the organisation has no funds to operate beyond 31 December 2011. This decision comes at a point when the sector is poised to make some significant developments in relation to craft, design, innovation and the creative industries, and in which Craft Australia has played and would have continued to play a significant role.</span></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
