Collective Vision

On Saturday afternoon we drove to Castlemaine for the opening of Collective Vision – Prints from the Castlemaine Art Gallery Permanent Collection 1970-2013. Pictured below is an installation view (my linocut Femme Fatale, 1996 is on the far right) followed by a small selection of works that were among my personal favourites. It’s a huge exhibition, and a must for lovers of print.  The exhibition was guest curated by Dick Turner and Su Mitton. It was launched by Roger Butler, Senior Curator of Australian Prints, Drawings and Illustrated Books, National Gallery of Australia.
