5WAYS

Hanging an exhibition is an exhausting process which requires hard work, co-operation, assistance and a good eye. Fortunately we had a generous dollop of all qualities supplied by the 5 exhibitors, family members and friends -  resulting in a two day assembly - which eventually culminated in an extremely cohesive display  . .  A huge Thankyou
 
 

 Deciding where to hang each individual piece so that it works as a whole is not an easy task . . . thank goodness we all have an abundance of humour . . .



 Sculpture, ceramics, installations, paintings and wall art from various artists, with entirely individual ways of working, does not automatically work together  - without serious thought and lots of juggling . . .
Painting - Sharon Lee  
Sculpture - Lyn Derrick   
Installation - Lily Karmatz

Ceramics - Linda Back          Ink on paper - Kate Cooke

The past two years being influenced by Ikebana and the 'Do' has been an extremely enjoyable process . . .A mammoth thankyou to Lily, Linda, Lyn and Kate from me - and to my family for their endless support and good humor throughout - you are all wonderful.
Time to go home, recharge our batteries, and get our glamour-rags out for the Exhibition opening of 5WAYS . . .

Time to hang


Two sleeps and we will be meeting in the Metcalf Gallery, at the Brisbane Institute of Art, to install our works, for the exhibition opening of 5WAYS, on Saturday November 14th.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the process of meeting with these talented artists and am full of anticipation to finally witness how the works present together in the gallery.

There will be sculptures, ceramics, paintings, wall art and installations.
Lily Karmatzs' - installation
