The C Word: Craft in Response to Gender and Representation
9th -24th March
10am-4pm
Saturdays & Sundays
Associated with production and practicality, situated primarily in the home and domestic life, Craft has historically been “feminised” and its value as an artform diminished.
This exhibition, titled “The C Word: Craft in response to gender and representation” invites local female artists who work in craft and design to respond to the marginalisation of craft through new work that seeks to explore craft’s longstanding association with the feminine.

“Since early 2023 I have embarked on a mission to put paint to canvas every day focusing on colour and figures. Working primarily in a 30 x 30cm format, I have created dozens of paintings in the pop art genre that can all be pieced together edge to edge in large-scale collages of colour. Part of my mandate was not to overthink each piece and to generate images that evoke a science-fiction, steampunk and post-apocalyptic vibe.” Chris Roe artist statement

“It’s been a journey discovering my love for nature’s gifts in varied forms of textures, colours, lines. This love of nature rescued me from a darker place in which I needed to escape in circumstances as a child and as an adult and learn to survive , cope and find peace and strength. It created a warmth, security and a surrounding of beauty for me in which I could create another place to exist, from this I tuned in to my Spirit.” - Patrina Roberts artist statement

Scott Howie will be presenting a performance text, titled ‘Promise’.While still in its very early stages, he is exploring whether this work will end up as a naturalistic play or something a little too derivative of Sarah Kane’s 4:48 Psychosis or maybe something somewhere in between.
