The Exhibition

After months of planning and preparation, it was finally happening!

What an event it was at the opening night. Turn out was amazing. Despite the gloomy and rainy weather during the day, the rain cleared by evening. The exhibition looked great and we had lots of compliments and congratulatory emails forwarded to our lecturers. A (very happy and proud) graduate, finally!

The photos below were mostly taken on the day I was rostered to curate the exhibition so it was less crowded. I'd say nearly if not all of us showcased our final project for the year. We could do whatever we wanted so the outcome looks really diverse. I only managed to snap a few people's works. I shall let the photos do the talking :)

Triangles on the wall are the artwork from all of us. 
On the table are our really awesome catalogue booklets

Mara's handprinted lengths, Rachel's plant with a knitted cover and Sarah's plant on the right

 Cassie's handwoven bags

 Teresa A's digitally printed fabrics

 Celina's digitally and hand printed work

 Handmade shoes with woven fabric and pom poms! By Nerida

 Georgie's minimalistic and really versatile designs

 Hannah's beautifully illustrated and hand printed swatches

Hannah's family came over for a visit when we were curating. Her little 4 year old niece, Serena, was soooo adorable and very cheeky! Wouldn't allow me to take a photo of her properly

 Erin's multicoloured fabrics intended for fashion

 One of my favourite work from the exhibition by Marie

Rachel's illustrated postcards, gifts and souvenir ideas

 This has got to be my favourite by far, illustrated and painstakingly collaged by non other but Sarah!
Her work is absolutely amazing

Here's the designer herself. Just so happened we were curating at the same time.
Check out her blog here

 Here's my little corner on the opening night itself. 
My plate and cushion got cropped off the photo but you get the idea. 
They are a range of products that were all printed and made by hand, apart from the framed artwork. 
I love my tea towels :]

There you go. A short tour around our wonderful little exhibition. There's a group photo of us 27 girls as well but I'd post it up once Georgie's given me the go-ahead :)

Folkå


Ta-da! Here's the debut of a small part of my final project on the WWW.

The theme for Folkå revolves around a fictional character of a girl in the shape of Suzannah (illustrated above), who lives in a rural part of Eastern Europe and leads a humble and traditional farming lifestyle. I've produced a range of home and living products including cushions, tea towels, a mug, plate, framed artwork and a tote bag based on this story. It is an entirely illustrated project by yours truly. It wasn't easy but all I can say is the results are pretty cool. All the motifs and artwork on the products paint a picture of her home and way of life :)

We'll be having a graduate exhibition so you could come check out my work and range for this project.

Our exhibition is named twentyseven at Fitzroy Gallery, 274 Fitzroy Street, Fitzroy VIC.

Check out our exhibition website cleverly done by Sarah Strickland. In it will have details of each one of us graduating this year. Sarah's work is illustrative and really beautiful. Definitely worth checking out!

Opening night on 30 November 2011, running through from 1- 5 Dec 2011, Tuesday to Friday: 11am – 5pm Saturday: 12pm – 4pm 

Love to see you there!
