Exhibition Description
The
four artists in this exhibition are unified by the idea of protrusion.
In the Red Room, Lynn Kelly’s site-specific felted tree installation
made for the Festival will protrude from the floor and appear to
puncture the ceiling, reappearing in the second floor stairwell. Magda
Wojtyra’s landscape of colourful cones springs out from the wall into a
spiked magical landscape. Robyn Thomas’s magazine hooked Flare spikes
out from the surface. Ying Yueh-Chuang’s solo exhibition in the Roastery
Coffee House features ceramic flowers protruding from her fabric
backgrounds.

Dinnerware: A Study in Design

Winston Churchill spoke of architecture – ‘We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us’. The sophisticated interdependence of design elements required to create an aesthetically pleasing set of functional pieces are often completely ignored by the user because of the commonplace nature of the object. This exhibition looks at how function and aesthetics drive some of the most everyday objects that surround us. Works included in this exhibition are by Harlan House, Shane Norrie, Judi, Dyelle, Goyer-Bonneau, Peter Jensen and others.
