Collating Past, Present

Inspired by personal objects and the stories they hold, these works explore memory, meaning, and material through thoughtful experimentation. Each piece reflects careful choice, inventive use of media, and a deep engagement with what we choose to keep and create from.

Collating Past, Present

Student exhibition: Collections and Cloth with Anne Kelly

"Objects can represent and trigger many emotions and memories and be the catalyst for beginning new work. When we have time to really consider what they represent, many possibilities and directions for related creativity can arise.

What has been instructive for me is to see how deeply and thoughtfully each of you have made your choices, whether they be based on family, community or experience.

 

I have also been impressed at the commitment with which you have tried new materials and experimented with media in new and ingenious ways.

Most of all though, it has been a privilege to share your visions, special remnants and pieces of fabric and most of all, the objects that started you off!

So enjoy your exhibition and congratulations to you all."

– Anne  Kelly
