Kyneton is a pretty, regional town in Central Victoria, an old gold mining area. It is also the home of the Old Auction House, which is hosting a group exhibition I am involved in. It is called ‘Uncoloured’, and you will not be surprised to know that the works are all black and white.
There will be 7 of us exhibiting.
I love the little glimpses of art on this flier, little teasers!
I will show you the seven feathers I am exhibiting. You will have already seen them if you get the letter from my studio. And if you don’t get the letter, why don’t you sign up, so that you can hear about the things happening in my artistic world?
I decided that pairs of feathers would be a good idea. So two guinea fowl feathers from my latest playing with ink and masking fluid.
Two tatty feathers, created with ink pens.
Two feathers with the fine lines drawn in ink. (They are created on the same type of paper, despite one looking grey. That’s my photographic skills!)
And a single, realistic feather, created in pencil.
All works will be for sale. I hope to sell some, of course, but I am happy to be part of this. It has been just far enough outside my comfort zone to be doable, but to push me into something different for my art. I had to give myself a little nudge, not a huge shove!
I dropped the drawings into the gallery today and received further good news from the curator ~ I have been accepted into another group exhibition in May. This one is called ‘Not your usual canvas’, and my sewing on paper art works fit the bill!
So, if you are able to visit Central Victoria, check out the exhibition. Lots of lovely places for lunch too!

Lovely! Makes me wish I was a bit closer – say, only a day’s drive instead of 5!

5 days would hardly be rushing… I shall have to enjoy it vicariously through your photos 🙂

Your feather drawings are a wonderful contribution to the exhibition, the two I have sit on dresser above my big table in the back room reminding me to make the most of creative opportunities. Having now as part of NHI101 drawn feathers myself, I can see the other side of the appeal, their lines and character are fun to draw.

Looks like it will be an interesting exhibition. Fingers crossed for a sale or two but it must be exciting to be involved anyway and it will mean more exposure for your work too so all is good.

You’re so good at this–it’s really amazing to me! And that’s great news about the sewn works being displayed, too–a perfect example of “not the usual canvas.”

I was delighted when the curator told me I had been accepted into the next exhibition, without needing to put in an application.
