Description: Fremantle Heritage Festival Artist Showcase Beasts of Battle:
Animals in WWI

Karen Jackson of 'Wolf Takes Fox' Studio and Wild Twig Studios

For Australians, the ANZAC legend, Duffy - Simpson's donkey - is probably
the most famous of the many horses, mules and donkeys used for transporting
supplies and wounded men. Of course, there were many other types of animals
and birds used during that conflict.

Inspired by the centenary of the Anzac landing, this art will acknowledge
some of the roles played by the different animals during WW1.

With both words and pictures, this project will look at how both sides
'depended on the efforts and skills of animals for transport, logistics,
communications and, at times, solace.'*

Kirsten Sivyer @ Moores Building Contemporary Art Gallery

Event Title: Persistence of Vision.
Participating Artists: Kirsten Sivyer.

Venue: Moores Building Contemporary Art Gallery, 46 Henry St, Fremantle WA.

Description: Exhibition opens 22nd May at 6pm

'Inspired by a fascination for Fremantle's heritage architecture,
'Persistence of Vision' seeks to uncover and re-vision both historical and
'conjectured' narratives hidden within these buildings.

Using a combination of media and techniques Kirsten simulates the actions of
erosion and reconstruction over time as she submits her photographs to a
process akin to 'restoration' - sanding, revealing hidden layers through
"reductive drawing", scratching through photographic ink and applying paint
- adding new information and personal meaning.'

An excerp from the exhibition essay by Dr Michelle Frantom.

Dates: 23 May 2015 to 1st June 2015.
Opening Times: 10-4 daily.
