A visit to APW with Sue Verney

Last Thursday Shane Jones and I took our friend Sue Verney to the Australian Print Workshop Gallery to see the APW George Collie Memorial Print Award Exhibition, which includes several of my linocuts. 

Sue, who was visiting from London, is one of my oldest friends. She has been enormously supportive of my artistic endeavours since I shared a flat with her in Holland Park, London, way back in the 1970s. That’s Sue and I outside the APW directly above and she can also be seen scrutinising MWP zines and books in the front window of the APW in the following photo.

 

Numerous Moth Woman Press publications are also on view inside the gallery and many are available for purchase. 

The displays have been slightly rearranged since our last post, but are equally elegant.

APW Gallery hours: Tuesday - Saturday 10 am - 5 pm.

The APW George Collie Memorial Print Award Exhibition continues to 1 October.

PRINTS 1987 - 2016: An ending and a beginning

The end of my solo exhibition, PRINTS 1987 - 2016 at Tacit Contemporary Art on Sunday afternoon, October 2, also marked something of a beginning. During the lead-up to the show, the date of the earliest work alerted Tacit's ever-vigilant Keith Lawrence to the fact that 2017 will mark a Significant Anniversary of my printmaking practice. Accordingly, a far larger exhibition, which will include several Moth Woman Press publications, is planned and already locked in for late next year. Watch for MWP's next post, when further details will be provided.

Meanwhile, warmest gratitude to exhibition curator, TJ Bateson and Tacit director, Keith Lawrence for their unwavering enthusiasm and support before, during and after the recent show, to the many people who came during its run, and to those who took the time and trouble send me their written responses.
