19.01.2022 For Alison Muir of Cremorne, NSW, new works start with a ‘water message’. The design is generated following research and experimenting and testing techniques, colours and stitching often bringing together unconnected ‘traditions’ such as political comment, scientific details, graphics and text to form abstract landscapes/seascapes such as Very Dry. 2019 Australia is in the midst of the worst and longest drought since records were kept. The politicians says it’s not climate c...hange. Dry stalks don’t feed cattle or sheep. When will our Indigenous people be respected to manage the land and water the ways they have for Millenia?

07.01.2022 Carolyn Sullivan - textile artist lives just outside Bundanoon, a rural township, two hours out of Sydney, Australia. This plateau country surrounded by eucalypt and deciduous trees is a park like site. Its cool climate, many gardens, closeness to the escarpment and beautiful mists, provides lots of inspiration for her work. Similarly, her journeys away from home also present opportunities to observe, draw, interpret and incorporate new ideas into her works. Carolyn has two w...orks in Australia Wide Seven. Away from Home: Indian decorative arts are such an inspiration Blown by the Wind : Grasses do such wonderful things hold soil in place, feed stock, store nutrients, a place for many organisms, provide seeds for food and so much more.
