Step into a realm where traditional meets contemporary at the “Found in Translation” exhibition curated by textile artist Liz Smith.
With experimentation and curiosity Liz has translated the paintings and sculptures of five local artists into tactile pieces, using the techniques of hand tufting and intricate embroideries.
Each piece in this collaboration blends the worlds of visual and tactile expression and visitors to the gallery are invited to explore the rich textures and vibrant colours of each work. Liz’s innovative interpretation offers a fresh perspective on the intersection of art and craft, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a multisensory experience.
Invited Artists: Tanya Blong, Mike Davison, Catrina Lloyd, Mandy Jakich, Jeff Thomson
