Tomorrow, Saturday 21 July, from 9 am - 4 pm, the Bower Artists - Loris Button, Louise Saxton, Carole Wilson and myself - will be among several presenters taking part in Study Day 2018 at the Johnston Collection.
Led by Louis Le Vaillant, Director/Curator, The Johnston Collection and Amanda Bede, President, Ephemera Society of Australia, PRIVATE COLLECTIONS/PUBLIC SPACES - THE VALUE OF ART & EPHEMERA takes its cue from our current exhibition, PATTERNS OF COLLECTING/From the Bower at the Johnston Collection.
The Bower Artists will discuss our own collections and how they have directed and influenced our artworks. For example, my collection of mourning and sentimental jewellery, characterised by its incorporation of intricately woven human hair (pictured top, in situ at the museum), was a direct influence on the miniature watercolours made specifically for PATTERNS OF COLLECTING, including the Non-Portrait below.
