grounded - Holly Treadaway
Holly’s
sticks and stones recreates her experiences as an adolescent growing up on a farm near Burra.
“To catch a Deane’s bus, branded you as coming from struggle town. Imagine catching the rattling bomb bus that traveled beyond struggle town. As a child, growing up on the land made you a target for name-calling and the butt of jokes regarding outdoor dunnies and having no power. Labeled the freckle farmer, I grew up with a slight complex about freckles and farm life. By the age of sixteen I was ungrateful about my surroundings, my view was that it was my parent’s choice to live out of town, not mine. What I saw back then as limitations to my freedom are now the exact things I embrace as my freedom. They say that with age comes wisdom.” Read the rest of this entry »

Or maybe you first soft-proof, make the appropriate corrections then click Print. Well I’m here to tell you it doesn’t quite work this way. Read the rest of this entry »

Womb - Margaret Kalms
Margaret Kalms’ photographs explore an intimate part of what it is to be a woman. Her images are a statement of respect for women’s bodies, not a response to men’s fantasies. The subtle eroticism and sexuality are used to express what being a woman means and feels like, with a focus on menstruation in emotional and philosophically symbolic terms.
Period Piece opens at the Huw Davies Gallery, Manuka Arts Centre at 6pm on Thursday 20th May and continues to 6th June. Read the rest of this entry »
