At St George’s we are moving towards the end of this year’s residency. Louise, our artist-in-residence for this year has completed most of the collaborative days and will be concentrating on finishing off her woven response to the building. She has become more and more interested in the architecture of the place which has influenced her work moving it into much heavier, more structural direction. In response to this she has decided that her final exhibition in January at St George’s will be called ‘Fabricate: a woven response to place’.
In the meanwhile there is a natural dye workshop on the 28th of November and a last weaving workshop just before Christmas. The dye workshop is being hosted at the Riverhouse Gallery’s Toshiba Studio.
We are just about to start the call-out for our next artist-in-residence and also developing more events and exhibitions to run concurrently during the year. However first we will be looking back over 2009 to learn from what we have done this year. Which things worked and which didn’t?
