Date
11 February 2011 - 19 March 2011
Place
The Cross Art Projects, 8 Llankelly Place, Kings Cross, Sydney, 2011, Australia

Twining: Weaving and abstraction brings together weaving and abstraction, material and form. Four artists experiment with the nexus between the opposing registers of high and traditional art to explore ideas of cultural circulation and, in this exhibition, the critical process of colonial cultural intersections.

24 July 2010 - 30 September 2010
Place
The Cross Art Projects, 8 Llankelly Place, Kings Cross, Sydney, 2011, Australia
