FeltWest members @ Gallery Central

Event Title: MACRO|micro Explorations in Felt.
Participating Artists: FeltWest members.

Venue: Gallery Central,
12 Aberdeen St, Perth.

Description: Feltwest feltmakers explore the MACRO and micro worlds through
innovative technology, pushing their ancient craft into new realms of shape,
pattern and texture in felt in a new exhibition at gallery Central. Perth.

Feltwest members are constantly seeking new ways to create in felt,
endeavouring to push boundaries and develop new approaches. Inspiration has
always come from the world around us but new technologies allow the
exploration of different realms; telescopes like Hubble allow us to see the
beauty of the MACRO and equipment like electron scanning microscopes open
the patterns and colours of the invisible micro. Using a variety of textile
and felting techniques Feltwest members have embraced the MACRO|micro
challenge to produce an array of more than 70 garments, sculptures, vessels
and wall art.


Dates: 19 August, 2016 to 10 Sept 2016.

- a life without stigma, a life without separation or shame, a life with
respect, compassion and honour for each and every one of us.

Kristen Brownfield @ SHOPFRONT GALLERY

Event Title: Teeter
Participating Artists: Kristen Brownfield

Venue: SHOPFRONT GALLERY,
149 Beaufort St, Northbridge

Description: Teeter is an installation that will be made in response to the
SHOPFRONT GALLERY. Working from a palette of up-cycled objects and studio
remnants, Kristen will create a three-dimensional drawing in the space that
suggests the extension of the making process from studio to the gallery
site. Precarious and unfixed, the work seeks to emphasize the ephemeral
relations between object, space and the viewer.

During a studio residency at ECU, Kristen has been occupied with material
investigations and the reconfiguration of found objects. Through assemblage,
she has explored ways to construct a dialogue between a range of materials
and architectural space, considering small interventions and countless
potential arrangements. As her first solo show, Teeter can be seen as one
rendition specific to the SHOPFRONT GALLERY.

Kristen Brownfield (born 1992) is an emerging Perth artist working across
collage, painting, assemblage and installation and artist-books. Since
completing her BA last year, she has undergone a studio placement at Paper
Mountain ARI (Northbridge) and Edith Cowan University, Mt Lawley (current).
She also co-founded the artist-run-initiative another, in Perth.

Dates: Wednesday 17th August 2016 to Sunday 21st August 2016.
Opening Times: Opening night 6-pm, Thurs-Sun 11-6pm.

Sarah Thornton-Smith @ Mundaring Arts Centre

Event Title: Left To My Own Devices, Sarah Thornton-Smith.
Participating Artists: Sarah Thornton-Smith.

Venue: Mundaring Arts Centre,
7190 Great Eastern Highway (corner Nichol Street) Mundaring

Description: Sarah Thornton-Smith's first solo exhibition "Left to my Own
Devices" is a conversation in colour, meticulously constructed out of paper,
soft woods and metal foils rendered in gouache. Small in nature, delicate
and ephemeral, the works echo some of Thornton-Smith's intimate experiences
and memories such as when she moved to WA from Singapore as a teen. Struck
by the harshness of light compared to light bound by tropical lushness,
Sarah's lifelong fascination with colour intensified. Sarah's work is
infused with ideas of landscape and explores the relationship that develops
between colour, form, structure and light.

Dates: 20 August 2016 to 25 September 2016.
Opening Times: Tuesday-Friday 10am-5pm, Saturday-Sunday 11am-3pm, closed
