Group exhibition approaches to fabric and textile art: Nerida Bell, Nicole Clift, Lucia Dohrmann and Helen Fuller

13 artists that in their own individual way, have developed work that relates directly to the notion of adornment; adornment of our bodies, our living spaces, our environments, and ultimately our lives.

Sue Boettcher, Liz Butler, Susan Frost, Helen Fuller, Anna Gore, Cj Jilek, Kate Kurucz, Glenn Kestell, Irene Kontakos, Jenna Pippett, Jessamy Pollock, Kate Sutherland and Luke Thurgate.

Florabotanica features the work of 8 SA artists: Morgan Allender, Nic Brown, Katia Carletti, Chris de Rosa, Helen Fuller, Lisa Young, Angela Valamanesh and George Zacharoyannis. The exhibition explores the manner in which each of these artists is inspired and responds to the botanical world in their practice. Their work covers a variety of mediums, from painting and drawing to sculpture, ceramic, and installation.

Sculptural stitchings, layered paintings and coiled vessels all feature in See Unseen. Three artists, Deidre But-Husaim, Helen Fuller and Sera Waters are connected by their exploration of the many carefully crafted layers of thread, paint and clay.

A collaborative installation cluster set up various vectors throughout the gallery, north invoked the spectre of 1930’s fascism in relation to sport, a quest for an idealised self where the act of vaulting is akin to a kind of ascension. Fuller changed the vectors of masculinity and verticality and enabled them to connect with histories beyond those of sport and politics.
