After graduation\, she gained experience and knowledge in various fields through group exhibitions. She lives in Melbourne and studies Master Fine Art at RMIT University. Julia’s work explores traditional understandings of craft through mediums such as sculptural installation\, sound performance\, and short video. Through her experimental practice\, she explores the relationship between herself and objects\, creating novelty by mixing traditional methods and contemporary art. The work seeks to express the beauty of Oriental thought and the sorrow of immigrants. Her work unravels the confusion and complexity of self-identity and relationships in narrative form. Julia is currently suffering from memories of the past and no longer wants to work with clay\, shifting instead towards a metaphorical immersive space in which one’s body and mind are twisted and cut with cloth to reflect painful extremes of her experience and the sadness of afterimage. \nSewing is an exploration of forgetting pain and neglecting me in the repetitive movements of the unconscious. But sometimes when I feel pain from being stabbed by a needle sharpness\, how much more painful was it than this pain? I feel pain like stabbing my chest even more as I remember it. Deep inside my body\, there are only sadness and regret left in this world. There will be no pain in the world other than this\, but it’s a contradiction that I regret deeply only after I leave because I didn’t know how to leave. What choice would I have if I knew the future? What does it mean to live here alone? My work is a collection of repentance\, longing\, and immersed sad emotions. What would be the wrong choice in my life’s decision?\nIt’s empty\, but we have to endure it \n몰입하기~\n재봉하는 행위는 무의식의 반복적인 움직임 속에서 고통을 잊고 나를 방치하는 탐구입니다. 하지만 때때로 바늘 날카로움에 찔려 고통을 느낄 때\, 이 고통보다 얼마나 더 고통스러웠을까요? 기억나는 대로 가슴을 더 찌르는 것 같은 고통을 느낍니다. 내 몸속 깊은 곳에 ~~ 이 세상에는 슬픔과 후회만 남습니다. 이 세상이 아닌 다른 세상에는 고통도 없겠지만 떠날 줄은 몰랐기 때문에 떠난 후에야 깊이 후회하는 모순일 뿐입니다. 만약 미래를 알았다면 어떤 선택을 했을까요? 여기서 홀로 산다는 것은 무엇을 의미할까 요? 제 작품은 회심과 그리움\, 몰입된 슬픈 감정의 집합입니다. 제 인생의 결정의 무엇이 잘못된 선택일까요?\n공허하지만 견뎌내야 합니다[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s CV” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933″][vc_column_text css=””]H Y U N – J O O K I M ( Julia ) \nBorn in South Korea\nLives in Melbourne \nEDUCATION\n2000 Bachelor of Fine Art (Ceramics)\, Hong-Ik University South Korea\, Seoul\n2021 Master Fine Art (Sculpture /ceramics)\, RMIT University\, Melbourne\nKorea\nOccupation\n2001 Curator at To-Art Space in Apgujon\, Seoul \nSELECTED GROUP EXHIBITIONS\n2003 Insa-Art Gallery (Kcdf)\, Seoul\n2005 In a View Gallery (Apgujon)\, Seoul\nAustralia \nSOLO EXHIBITIONS\n2016 ‘The Meeting of Paint and Ceramics’\, Canopy Art Centre\, Queensland\n2022 ‘HYUN_JOO KIM’ graduation exhibition\, BLACKCAT GALLERY\, Melbourne \nSELECTED GROUP EXHIBITIONS\n2017 ‘Artists of North’\, Tank4 Gallery\, Queensland\n2017 ‘Celebrating 25 years’\, Kick Contemporary Art\, Queensland\n2019 ‘Creative market’\, First Site Gallery\, RMIT Melbourne\n2020 ‘Fifty Squared Art prize’\, Brunswick street gallery\, Melbourne\n2020 ‘The Meaning of Things’\, Craft Victoria\, Melbourne\n2021 ‘Rock\, Paper\, Scissors’\, Red gallery\, Melbourne\n2021 RMIT MFA Graduation exhibition\, Site Eight Gallery.

SUMMARY:what lies in the underneath
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”ffds-gallery-artistname”]\nNed Brook\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”ffds-gallery-exhibitionname”]\nwhat lies in the underneath\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text css=””]21 January – 1 February 2025\n\nhours:\nTuesday – Friday: 12pm – 7pm\nSaturdays: 12pm – 4pm\nadmission: Free[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]\n…each of his pieces reflect specific states of being\, conveying basic human emotions… \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_tabs][vc_tta_section tab_id=”1518320329614-868977ba-1f9e905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933″ title=”Description”][vc_column_text css=””]Ned Brook’s art examines the relationship between living with a mental health issue and creating exciting and contemporary art. By using the methodologies of physical expression\, spontaneity\, gesture\, embodiment\, flow states and intuitive mark making\, his art captures the ever-changing states of being that are common to us all and also regarding experiencing a mental health issue. These states are expressed through free drawing\, and abstract painting and sculpture. While it is challenging to experience a mental health issue\, the relationship between his mental health issue and creative practices is considered to be a positive one\, forming as a necessary catharsis. \nHis artworks seek to represent elements on the continuum of human subjectivity to create a commonality between himself as an artist\, and the viewer\, forming into shared emotional experiences. He expresses what he is feeling via the artwork\, and this in turn resonates beyond the act of making as the artwork becomes a discursive object. Each of his pieces reflect specific states of being\, conveying basic human emotions. \nA flow state of mind is critical to achieving this. Ned has to focus intently on the task at hand to the point where he forgets himself and becomes lost in the making. His mind is occupied in the creative act where he is entirely present to himself and not the external world. This enables him to enter into a state of creativity where he is connected to himself without external or internal voices\, where he is in a state of wholeness and affirmation. \nSo\, he seeks to function with as little language as possible. This includes internal dialogues. This allows his state of being to be represented without distraction. Where the nonverbal creates a safe and productive space for him.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933″][vc_column_text css=””]Ned Brook is an artist early in his career\, having his first group show at SOL Gallery in Melbourne recently. Ned has recently completed a Master of Fine Art at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology\, and has completed studies in creative writing\, media\, politics\, and economics as part of a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Melbourne. As well continuing studies in a Graduate Certificate in Bushfire Planning and Management also at the University of Melbourne. Ned lives on Dja Dja Wurrung\, Taungurung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung country in central regional Victoria and has extensive experience in land management and farming as well bushfire firefighting. He has his first solo show at fortyfivedownstairs gallery (this exhibition) in January 2025.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Events” tab_id=”1734410476765-3118c16f-d688″][vc_column_text css=””]Opening night \nTuesday 21 January\, 5-7pm[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]

With research as photographer\, and subject\, and in collaboration with my queer and ‘othered’ community they actively queer and playfully weaponise: creative space for oppositional action; communal play; individual agency; self-expression; gender performativity; and the erotic. In deconstructing\, rearranging\, recontextualising and appropriating binary archetypes and narratives\, this collection enables the empowerment of individuals and communities alike\, and in doing so\, inspires those who have felt shame\, to make a stand\, for themselves\, and those they love.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933″][vc_column_text css=””]Brent Leideritz is an independent Adelaide-based photographer who’s photographic practice originated with film during their self-taught and experimental formative period in the mid to late 90s and early 00s. Their practice has developed into digital mediums\, utilising digital post-production and more recently exploring ai-generated promptographic resolutions. They continue to expand on themes and subject matter seeded in their formative years. Brent continues to interrogate identity\, producing works that seek to question how an identity is formed and how identity is oppressed or liberated through family\, cultural structures\, kin and communities. \nBrent Leideritz’s portrait photography is centred in creatively capturing the moment of collaboration between photographer and individual. In most instances\, these moments coalesce into larger photographic series that explore themes such as: identity formation and politics; the human condition and connectivity; resistance of oppressive structures; cultural agitation for positive discourse and challenging religious and societal norms. Their practice interrogates and challenges normative ways of being\, providing a space to those that are ‘other’ to be seen and heard. Developing their practice from within ‘othered’ communities as a neurovariant\, queer\, goth\, freak\, Brent gives space for playful opposition\, collaboration\, gender queering and representation. This creates space for communal deconstruction and reconstruction of the symbolism\, myth and narratives that exist within normative and conservative society. Brent’s work creates an ever-unfolding set of questions for viewers to explore\, and in doing so\, asks those who see the resultant photographic artworks to consider a viewpoint that may differ from their own\, as a way to move beyond dated binaries of the past. \nArtist’s website: b. | brent leideritz [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Events” tab_id=”1734410378355-3887b156-f2b4″][vc_column_text css=””]Opening night \nTuesday 21 January\, 5-7pm[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”Exhibition Exegesis” color=”danger” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Ffortyfivedownstairs.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F12%2FBrent_Leideritz_Divergent_archetypes_for_old_ideas_exegesis_REPOSITORY.pdf”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

As always\, the comedy is sharp\, mordant and absurdist. The Players will be joined by Julian McCarthy on percussion. \nThe Siegfried Idyll – a duologue to be performed by Peter Rose and Claudio Bozzi – presents a long-time\, seemingly contented gay couple contemplating the seismic repercussions of ‘a night at the opera’. \nLush Lyfe – a trilogue to be performed by Rose\, Bozzi and Ellie Nielsen – takes three somewhat reluctant siblings to a nursing home called Lush Lyfe\, where they wait endlessly for a glimpse of their parents. \n“The Highly Strung Players’ original absurdist works are playful\, witty and multi-layered. Founding member and renowned wordsmith Peter Rose has a fine sense of what lies beneath the surface of relationships and social interaction. His clever duologues highlight our foibles and delusions with sensitivity and humour.” Helen Morse[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Ticket Prices and Concessions” tab_id=”1452941768731-94b426f3-57530201-342dcb0a-2ec9a177-581a2513-a5c51f1f-8993a3c4-5ca5cb85-3d54189f-4d6f8ba6-b9f18753-1063″][vc_column_text css=””]\nTicket Prices:\nFull: $35\nConcession: $25\nGroup 6+: $25 \nConcessions:\nPensioners/Full-time students/MEAA members \nTicket sales are subject to a booking fee of $2.00 per ticket plus any merchant charges for payments by American Express[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][vc_empty_space]Buy Tickets [/vc_column][/vc_row]

Wintringham delivers a wide range of services to aged people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. \nDorothy Lipmann’s art focuses on elderly women who make up half of Wintringham’s clients. Most of these women have been through some kind of trauma in their life. For many their stability is very fragile\, leading to isolation\, uncertainty\, division and stigma. But with support they no longer feel so powerless and refuse to become victims. The artist wants to make poverty visible and for people to consider what it must be like to be an elderly woman and homeless.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933″][vc_column_text css=””]Dorothy Lipmann is a Melbourne based artist \n  \nTraining \n1967-69 – Fine Arts (Painting) – Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology \n1970 – Fellowship Year – Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and Melbourne University \n  \nExhibitions \n1987 – Pinacotheca Gallery\, Waltham Place\, Richmond –  solo show \n1989 – Pinacotheca Gallery\, Waltham Place\, Richmond –  solo show \n1992 – Pinacotheca Gallery\, Waltham Place\, Richmond –  solo show \n1994 – Pinacotheca Gallery\, Waltham Place\, Richmond –  group show \n1995 – Pinacotheca Gallery\, Waltham Place\, Richmond –  solo show \n1997 – Pinacotheca Gallery\, Waltham Place\, Richmond –  solo show \n1997 – Pinacotheca Gallery\, Waltham Place\, Richmond –  group show \n1999 – Pinacotheca Gallery\, Waltham Place\, Richmond –  solo show \n2001 – Polly Courtin Gallery\, Swanston Street\, Melbourne – solo show \n2004 – 4 Cats Gallery\, Johnston St\, Collingwood – solo show \n2005 – 4 Cats Gallery\, Johnston St\, Collingwood – solo show \n2008 – Collingwood Gallery\, Smith St\, Collingwood – group show \n2008 – Collingwood Gallery\, Smith St\, Collingwood – solo show \n2011 – Collingwood Gallery\, Smith St\, Collingwood – solo show \n2012 – Collingwood Gallery\, Smith St\, Collingwood – solo show \n2013 – Collingwood Gallery\, Smith St\, Collingwood – solo show \n2014  – Summer Salon – Collingwood Gallery – group show \n2014 – Leave the Animals Alone – Collingwood Gallery – group show \n2014 – Collingwood Gallery\, Smith St\, Collingwood – solo show \n2016 – Collingwood Gallery\, Smith St\, Collingwood – solo show \n2017 – Collingwood Gallery\, Smith St\, Collingwood – solo show \n2020 – Tanami Desert – drawings \n2021 – 45 Downstairs\, Flinders Lane – group show on line \n2022 – 45 Downstairs\, Flinders Lane – solo show \n2024 – 45 Downstairs\, Flinders Lane – solo show \n  \nAcquired By \nMuseum of Modern Art\, Brisbane \nYarra City Council\, 2013 \n  \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Events” tab_id=”1708388130131-1a25d11d-1099″][vc_column_text css=””]More details coming soon…[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Chloe’s drawings offer a place to dream\, to wander\, to reflect\, to see and to see again\, to change perspective. ‘We are all listening to the river\,’ words handwritten in Chloe’s studio\, spoken by a friend that inspires her heart.

This exhibition embodies a celebration of liberated chaos\, where conventions are dismantled and expectations are cast aside. \n  \nJustine McAllister has created the world she wishes to see around her: one of acceptance\, nourishment\, and creativity\, free from shame and pretence. The figures in her works are depicted amidst fragmented surroundings\, calmly unapologetic about their existence and accepting of those around them. They remain serene amidst the engulfing noise. \n  \nThis exhibition features paintings\, works on paper\, and beaded textile artworks. These pieces celebrate the human touch and the physical process of creation. In an era where technology and AI are homogenising creativity and diminishing human physicality\, McAllister’s art offers a warm sense of intimacy and connection. \n  \nBy challenging both external and internal pressures\, McAllister has embraced a new\, unbridled aesthetic that defies perfection\, encouraging a departure from imposed norms and self-restriction. Her work rebels against the modern pursuit of fame and flawlessness\, serving as a reminder of the beautiful chaos inherent in authentic human relationships. \n  \nImage credits: ‘Romantic Rebellion’ installation view\, 2024\, photographer: Shannyn Higgins[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933″][vc_column_text css=””]\nJustine McAllister is a notable contemporary painter from Ballarat\, Australia\, now based in Melbourne. Born in 1987\, she has garnered acclaim for her large-scale murals that blend figuration with abstraction. Her work is celebrated for its vibrant\, dynamic quality and distinctive colour palette that has become integral to her style. \n  \nEmploying brush and roller to create her murals\, McAllister delves into themes of human connection\, abundance\, and acceptance. She sees her art as a personal visual language\, a way to interpret the complex chaos of modern life. \n  \nA passionate advocate for public art\, McAllister believes it serves as a powerful alternative to commercial advertising\, offering perspectives from individuals rather than corporations. She views murals as contemporary time stamps\, reflecting the experiences and values of their creators. For McAllister\, the creation of art in public spaces holds great significance\, as she believes public art invites contemplation and should be readily accessible to everyone. \n‘Romantic Rebellion’ is McAllister’s second solo show\, where she integrates her mural practice with the contemporary gallery space. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Events” tab_id=”1707887446229-aca4af4e-555c”][vc_column_text css=””]Opening night \nFriday 8 November\, 5-7pm \n  \nArtist Talk \nSaturday 16 November\, 1pm. \nHosted by fellow artist Jack Rowland and followed by a casual Q&A.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”ONLINE CATALOGUE” color=”warning” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Ffortyfivedownstairs.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F11%2FRomantic-Rebellion-JMc-2024.pdf”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Fabrics and threads are vessels that carry memories of family\, place and history. Fortyfivedownstairs gallery is situated in Flinders Lane on the land of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong/ Boon Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nations who have been making art and textiles for over 40\,000 years. More recently\, Flinders Lane was the centre of Melbourne’s clothing industry\, or ‘rag trade’. This textile history adds a layered backdrop to the exhibition. \nThe contributing artists use traditional and non-traditional needlework practices and materials in innovative ways within a fine arts practice. Each artist has meticulously worked and reworked textiles and threads\, offering expanded interpretations of history\, origins and place – honouring the past through preserving its memories while forging new narratives. \nThis exhibition has been supported by a City of Melbourne Arts Grant. \nImages: \n1.

Textiles can hold memories and stories. Helvi uses industrial textiles to make artworks that blend the past and present. Her work delves into themes of grief\, change\, and embodied sensing. Through her work she connects the viewer and the artwork to explore broader social issues and human experience. She makes art that invites the viewer into a space for reflection. By using scale and materials\, Helvi wants viewers to be aware of their own bodies when they view her work. Helvi includes absurdist gestures in drawings\, movement and forms across her practice. This introduces elements of lightness and amusement. Helvi’s practice plays with the formal language of sculpture. She uses the flexibility of textiles to adapt the way that galleries traditionally exhibit and install artworks. Helvi Apted (Finnish/Australian) was born Djilang/Geelong. She has been a finalist in the Darebin Art Prize\, a recipient of the R.L. Foote Design Studio Award and the Masters Mentoring VCA Art Award. Helvi has exhibited at Blindside\, George Paton Gallery\, Trocadero Art Space\, Unassigned Gallery\, and the 2023 VCA Art Grad Show. Helvi is exhibiting at Linden New Art Project Space in October 2024. She is completing a Master of Contemporary Art at the VCA. \n  \nElise Cakebread \nElise Cakebread works across textiles\, sculpture\, installation and public art. Elise is driven by experimentation within traditional textile processes and techniques. Her work explores materiality\, tactility\, sustainability\, disposability\, and ornamentation. Through her artistic process\, Elise strives to achieve a form of true abstraction – an abstraction of materials that transcends their original context and significance. By repurposing discarded waste materials into intricate compositions\, she aims to strip away preconceived notions of value and utility\, allowing the inherent qualities of each material to shine through in unexpected and compelling ways. This approach not only challenges conventional definitions of abstraction but also invites viewers to contemplate the essence of materiality itself\, prompting a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of all things. Elise has collaborated with The Artling\, Gorman\, Dulux\, alt.material\, Local/Actual\, The Monolonglo Group\, SPACE furniture and Capella Sydney. Elise has exhibited at Linden New Art\, CRAFT Melbourne\, The Australian Tapestry Workshop\, Design Tasmania\, and The Australian Design Centre. She has been a finalist for the Northern Beaches Environmental Art Award and for the KAAF Art Award. Her work has been featured in Vogue Living\, Yellowtrace\, Grand Designs\, and The Design Files. \nElise holds a Bachelor of Arts – Textiles (with distinction) from RMIT (2012) and a Bachelor of Creative Arts from The Univeristy of Melbourne (2007). In 2022 Elise was awarded the Regional Arts Victoria Creative Fellowship. \n  \nJanelle Evans \nJanelle Evans (Dharug) is a multi-disciplinary visual artist\, curator and writer\, currently living and working in Naarm (Melbourne). Janelle’s work is informed by her cultural and ancestral connections to Country\, in which she seeks to question and disrupt the narrative of British and European first contact encounters\, and to create a counter-discourse to resultant mythologies that have formed in the national consciousness. Janelle has exhibited in solo and group shows in galleries and biennales in Australia\, Japan and France and her works are held in public and private collections. Janelle has had artist residencies at Bundanon\, Tokyo Geidai\, and at Teerk-Roo-Ra\, in Queensland’s Moreton Bay. She has worked collaboratively with First Nations and other artists on several public and institutional art commissions for The State Library of Queensland\, The Australian War Memorial\, 4A Contemporary Asian Arts and Campbelltown Art Centre for the Sydney Festival. Janelle holds a PhD in Fine Art from Sydney College of the Arts\, University of Sydney and is currently Head\, Master of Contemporary Art at Victorian College of the Arts\, University of Melbourne. \n  \nRebecca George \nRebecca George is a Melbourne / Naarm based artist exploring patterns and shapes and connections between science\, nature and art. She has an engineering and manufacturing background and brings a love of process to her art practice. Repetition\, shadows\, mathematical shapes and perspective feature in her work. The use of found\, recycled or recyclable materials is important. She thinks through making. Rebecca started her art practice making hyperbolic crochet sculptures and is expanding it by introducing printmaking\, collage\, ceramics\, woodwork\, bronze casting and welding\, finding new applications for common materials. Rebecca won the Heide at Home Maquette Challenge in 2021. She was commissioned by Knox to be part of their Immerse Program in 2021 with an installation at Stamford Park Homestead. She has exhibited in Melbourne Design Fringe in 2021 and 2023\, and with Naarm Textiles Collective at fortyfivedownstairs and Assembly Point in 2022\, 2023 and 2024. Her work was included in the Australian Textile Art Award 2022. As a Grampian Arts tutor in 2023\, she exhibited at Ararat Gallery TAMA. Rebecca is completing a Master of Contemporary Art at the VCA in 2024. \n  \nPhong Chi Lai \nPhong Chi Lai (Studio PCL) is a Naarm/Melbourne-based designer/maker specialising in contemporary quilts and soft sculptures through improv patchwork. Previously a shoe designer/maker\, Phong took the opportunity to work in textile-based social enterprises in Asia\, reinforcing his artisan ethos. Taking inspiration from these experiences\, he developed his textile practice upon returning to Australia in 2018. Using upcycled/deadstock fabrics and natural dyes\, Phong takes a considered and intuitive approach\, responding to materials and his surroundings. He applies traditional techniques; hand-quilting\, assemblage and patchwork with an overtly free hand approach to build compositional complexity. Phong  has exhibited at The Wangaratta Art Gallery\, QuiltCon (USA)\, School House Studios Gallery\, Linden New Art Gallery and The Australian Tapestry Workshop. His work ‘Creating Character’ won Best Object Design at Design Fringe 2023\, Phong is a 2024 Artist in Residence at The Australian Tapestry Workshop and a finalist in The Irene Davis International Tapestry Prize.

In her textile practice\, she explores her surroundings and interprets what she sees through embroidery. Her work has been exhibited in the United Kingdom\, Netherlands\, Canada and Australia. Tamara’s practice engages with the natural environment recreating images and shapes in her embroidered works in 2 and 3D form. In her work she is able to portray social issues including environment\, climate change and the treatment of asylum seekers. Textiles are the perfect medium for expressing thoughts using hand and machine stitching. Tamara works with found materials and finds joy in the unexpected uses that can be found for them. She loves this unpredictability and enjoys the inventiveness necessary to transform them. She uses materials that are reclaimed\, things with a history that have been discarded and might otherwise end up in landfill. Tamara was invited to Curtain Springs for a residency in 2019\, a finalist in the John Villiers Art Prize 2021 and the Australian Textile Art Award 2022 along with exhibiting in group and solo exhibitions. Her recent projects include facilitating the Moreland Quilt in 2017 – a community arts project\, exhibiting in Melbourne galleries and teaching workshops in hand embroidery\, free machine embroidery\, mending skills and garment reinvention.

Using intuitive geometry and hand-crafted methodical processes\, Salt traces the intricacies of order in public and private space\, internal and external worlds and increasingly uncertain environments. Salt has exhibited at CRAFT\, Melbourne; Linden New Arts; Town Hall Gallery\, Hawthorn; Hazelhurst Regional Art Gallery; and PICA\, Perth. She has received prestigious awards such as the Art & Australia Emerging Artist Award\, Freedman Foundation Travelling Scholarship\, and Kate Derum Award.

She was recently awarded the Fiona Myer White Story Residency 2024. \n  \nShannon Slee \nShannon Slee is a contemporary artist living and working on Wurrundjeri Woi-Wurrung land in Melbourne’s north. Shannon has a fascination with the deconstruction and reparation of cloth to create textile works that considers intimacy to connect with conditions of the human experience. Informed by feminist theories\, she presents clothing as a direct representation of the body’s experience. Unpicking and piecing together discarded clothing with fabric remnants\, she creates textile sites that not only trace histories but materially links\, joins and attaches us to them. Shannon recently completed a Masters in Contemporary Art with first class honours at Victoria College of the Arts at Melbourne University. She has exhibited at The Australian Tapestry Workshop\, VCA grad-show\, VCA Artspace\, Linden New Art Project Space and George Paton Gallery.

In Valimberti’s paintings\, she works to transform the mundane into something quietly beautiful through traditional oil painting. \nDrawing attention to the gaze\, Valimberti alludes to the historical context of depicting the figure and subtly challenges conventional perspectives. \nNuance and contemplation of the moment are captured\, unpacked and re-assembled here. The body is often not depicted whole\, but a glimpse or fragment is provided from which the viewer can construct a story. Her paintings emphasise ambiguity\, inviting the viewers’ interpretation and imaginative faculty in the portrayal of the figure. \nValimberti’s paintings convey a sense of introspection and sensitivity through the handling of light\, tone\, and texture. \nImage #1: Secondhand Sheets\, Elena Valimberti\, oil on linen\, 158.75 x 104.14cm\nImage #2: Walter\, Elena Valimberti\, oil on linen\, 146 x 108cm\nImage #3: Garden Party\, Elena Valimberti\, oil on board\, 60cm diameter[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933″][vc_column_text css=””]More details coming soon…[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Events” tab_id=”1707888535933-4f426886-be75″][vc_column_text css=””]Opening night \nTuesday 10th of September\, 5-7pm[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Through Rose’s photographic works\, film\, printmaking\, painting and installations\, the potentiality for environmental recovery is explored by posing questions around land use and conservation in the Australian context. This body of work critically explores the impact of colonial systems on the environment\, through transdisciplinary research that blends Rose’s artistic practice with scientific inquiry. Rose seeks to inspire a sense of reverence for the beauty and resilience of the natural world and invites the viewer to engage with the importance of addressing intertwined ecological and cultural injustices. \nFeatured in the exhibition is the critically threatened Murnong Yam Daisy\, traditionally a staple food source for First Nations Peoples. The Murnong has been severely affected by consequences of intensive colonial agricultural methods and loss of traditional land management practices by First Nations Peoples due to colonial occupation. The photographic works Murnong Daisy Passage and Murnong Daisy Rising\, depict the once thriving Murnong emerging from a clump of wheat within a fabricated imperial steel vessel\, set against the backdrop of canola fields located on the fringe of Lake Tyrrell (Direl)\, Victoria. The imperial vessel symbolises the imposition of foreign agricultural practices that disrupt traditional ecological balances. This visual metaphor poignantly illustrates the Murnong’s precarious existence amid landscapes altered by colonial systems. Informed by eco-feminism\, post humanism\, and non-representational theories in geography Rose leads us to the works\, Unveiling Echoes Rorschach and Unveiling Echoes.  In these works\, Rose evaluates the colonial exploitation of landscapes and emphasises the need for restorative ecological practices\, embracing Indigenous knowledge\, truth telling and critiquing patriarchal structures of colonial systems that perpetuate environmental and cultural degradation. \nExtending the narrative\, Rose’s film\, Scar\, Mallee Rally\, Lake Tyrrell (Direl) draws our attention to the recreational off-road motor sport\, the ‘Mallee Rally’\, an 85-kilometre racing circuit around the foreshore of Lake Tyrrell (Direl). Since 1974\, the Mallee Rally has expanded to include unprecedented numbers of racing motor vehicles\, spectators\, private vehicles\, caravans and camping over the lakes dunes\, ironically calendared on the Queen’s (King’s) Birthday long weekend. \nLake Tyrrell (Direl) is Victoria’s largest inland salt-lake\, a significant biodiverse and cultural landscape\, covering approximately 20\,860 hectares and located North of the town of Sea Lake\, Victoria. Through Rose’s photographic documentation of the environmental destruction wrought by the rally and proposed construction of a caravan park close to the shoreline\, multiple submissions to Federal and State environmental departments have been made in collaboration with local and First Nation Peoples lobby groups amid concern for the lack of environmental and cultural protection. \nAfter fifty-two years of environmental destruction\, in 2019\, after mounting pressure a permit for the Mallee Rally was denied\, Lake Tyrrell (Direl) had time for respite. A stop works order was placed on the caravan park development and subsequent appeals were denied in 2023. Rose’s dedication to the long-term protection of Lake Tyrrell continues\, the film works Respite\, Lake Tyrrell (Direl) and Unveiling Echoes\, serve as documentation of environmental recovery and the importance of advocacy for the protection of Lake Tyrrell (Direl). Rose is pleased to announce that her 2024 PhD graduate research is centred on Lake Tyrrell (Direl). \nFor over two decades Rose has been in the process of discovering her ancestral histories. Her inquiry led her to the shoreline of Lake Tyrrell (Direl) where her ancestors worked in the colonised salt factory and adjoining sheep and wheat farms. She came to learn that she is of Irish heritage\, and that her grandfather Laurence Taggert was born in Sea Lake. Rose continues to search for the broken ancestral lines in her personal histories. \nRose is the founder of the art therapy program Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne and international published author of ‘Finding Peace with Death and Dying in Everyday Life’. Rose’s occupational history led her to discover that art could be therapy\, and the natural environment a place of healing and worth protecting. In 2019 after an extensive career as an art therapist\, and international lecture on death and dying\, Rose recommenced study at the University of Melbourne\, with a focus on Art Ecology.

It is literally a three dimensional memoir of events & experiences that display a distinctly feminine visual signature and addresses everyday situations such as parenting\, mundane chores\, chauvinism\, suicide\, family\, cosmetic enhancement and humorous incidents. The individual sculptures reflect the feminine sensuality and struggle of women whilst revealing the conflict between necessity and the desire to pursue goals. \nThe media used are mostly Australian hardwoods which have traditionally been a primarily male dominated choice of material. Girls were not allowed to do woodwork when I attended school so becoming a High school woodwork/metal/Visual Arts teacher in the chauvenistic 1980’s was instrumental in providing inspiration for many aspects in this collection of works. “Just a Sheila” resembles a visual timeline of varied life experiences and random incidental moments in time.These recycled hardwood timbers are physically demanding and time consuming to work with but resolution always results in strong forms & exquisite unpredictable surfaces. The flaws & cracks are accentuated & appreciated as they enhance the fragility & strength of the subject matter. A combination of techniques involving resins\, metal\, found objects\, stenciling & paint are also incorporated in the artworks. \nEarly exposure to the sculptures of Rodin\, Louise Bourgeois\, Inge King\, Bronwyn Oliver\, Giacometti and classical figures were instumental in inspiring my passion for sculptural form. \nA series of mix media drawings that relate to a variety of life experiences also accompany the sculptures. \n  \n– Artworks are currently held in Private & public collections in Australia\, Berlin\, New York & Italy. \n– Overseas exhibitions – New York\, Barcelona\, Paris\, Rotterdam\, Italy (Florence\, Capri\, Naples & Palermo in Sicily) \n  \nImage 1: Expectations\, Domestic Torso series\, Josie Lowerson\, stringybark and paint\, 100cm H\, 21kg\nImage 2: Bloodlines\, Josie Lowerson\, grey box and hoop pine\, 1700cm H\nImage 3: Just a Shiela\, Josie Lowerson\, jarrah and paint\, 80cm H\nImage 4: Bowerbird conspiracy\, Josie Lowerson\, mixed media and grey box\, 57cm H\nImage 5: Hanky Head\, Josie Lowerson\, white cedar and paint\nImage 6: Rabbiter\, Josie Lowerson\, Silver Valley box and found objects\, 1800cm H[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933″][vc_column_text css=””]BIOGRAPHY – JOSIE LOWERSON \n2024 – Solo exhibition\, Just a Sheila\, fortyfivedownstairs\, Flinders Lane\, Melbourne \n2022 – Display of sculptures at Lenny Street eatery/wine bar\, Tolga\, Queensland \n2019 – Exhibition\, SMALL\, fortyfivedownstairs\, Flinders Lane\, Melbourne\n– Exhibition\, Paper & Sticks\, O.P.O Gallery\, Atherton (with printmaker Bek Honeyman) \n2017 – Exhibition\, Contemporary ‘17\, Gallery Etienne de Causans\, Rue de Seine\, Paris\, France\n– Exhibition\, Capri-Isle of Art\, Villa La Floridiana\, Isle of Capri\, Italy\n– Workshop (Cairns) with Australian artist Abdul Abdullah\n– Member of Australian Womens Art Register\, Richmond\, Melbourne\, Victoria \n2016 – Exhibition\, Pazzi per Napoli at Castel dell Óvo\, Naples\, Italy\n– International Art Fair\, Rotterdam\, Netherlands\n– Exhibition\, Eight by Ten\, KickArts Contemporary Art Gallery\, Cairns\, Australia\n– Tolga Woodworks Gallery\, display of sculptures \n2015 – International Art Fair\, Paris 015 Art Salon\, Carrousel Du Louvre\, Paris\, France\n– Exhibition\, Get Kicking\, KickArts Contemporary Art Gallery\, Cairns\, Australia\n– Exhibition\, Bienal De Arte\, Museum of Modern Art (MEAM) in Barcelona\, Spain\, opened by Jose Van Roy Dali (heir of Surrealist artist Salvador Dali)\n– Exhibition\, Florence Art\, International Collective\, Guicciardini Bongianna\, Florence\, Italy\n– Exhibition\, 2nd International Biennale\, Palazzo Sant Elia\, Palermo\, Sicily \n2014 – Art residency\, Galleria Monteoliveto\, Naples & Pollena Trocchea in Italy\n– Solo Exhibition\, The Great Art Hunt\, Interactive childrens event\, Cairns Art Gallery \n2013 – Exhibition\, Portals of Perception\, Agora Gallery\, West 25th Street\, Chelsea\, New York\, U.S.A.\n– Organiser of “Art Aid”\, project supplying art-packs to underprivileged schools in East Timor\n– Queensland local finalist in NEITA Excellence in Teaching Award (Art) \n2012 – Exhibition\, Birds of a Feather\, Cairns Art Gallery\, Queensland (Patron – Chinese Association) \n2011 – Walk to Art Tour\, New York\, U.S.A.\n– Award\, Queensland Government International Year of the Woman\, “Ordinary women / Extraordinary lives”\n– Exhibition\, Language of Art\, Carrington Art Gallery\, Noosa\, Queensland \n2010 – Solo Exhibition\, Attire\, Cairns Art Gallery \n2007 – Form Sculptors of North Queensland\, Display of two sculptures in windows of Cairns Art Gallery \n2005 – Exhibition\, Women in Action\, Foyer Gallery\, Atherton \n2002 – Exhibition\, Atrium Gallery\, Paradise Palms\, Palm Cove \n2001 – Solo exhibition\, Extracted\, Cairns Art Gallery \n1998 – Exhibition\, Works on Paper\, Bendigo Art Gallery\, Non-acquisitive Award Winner \n1997 – Exhibition\, Sandhurst Trustees Women Sculptors\, Capitol Theatre\, Bendigo\, Finalist\, Sculptural works selected by Inge King\n– Exhibition\, Finalist\, Works on Paper\, Bendigo Art Gallery\, Victoria\n– Organisation & construction of sculptural “Peace Garden”\, Barkly Street\, Bendigo\, Victoria \n1996 – Exhibition\, Second Agenda\, Convent Gallery\, Daylesford\n– Worked on Artist in Residence program (C.C.B.

Written for and performed by Brigid Gallacher (In The Club and Things I Know To Be True at Theatreworks) and Charles Purcell (Apokalypsis at The Substation and The Inheritance at fortyfivedownstairs)\, Milk and Blood present unflinching examinations into violence and desire\, shame and self sabotage\, and the power of redemption. \nMilk tells the story of Mummy\, a young mother whose unconditional love for her incarcerated son\, Boy\, has led her to staunchly defend his violent sexual crimes. Through monthly visits to Boy\, Mummy meditates on redemption\, motherhood and accountability. While her faith is tested\, her love for him endures. \nBlood tells the story of Daddy\, an experienced sex worker and professional Dom who has devoted his life to caring for\, teaching\, and protecting the queer community. After suffering a violent assault from a gang of teenage boys\, Daddy develops an unfamiliar attraction to danger that begins to radically redefine his relationship to pleasure\, attraction\, strength\, and masculinity. \n★★★★ “Compelling performances and Benjamin Nichol’s scripts make this double bill of one-handers more than the sum of its parts” Patricia Maunder\, Limelight \n★★★★ “Pared back\, and by turns lyrical and gritty\, both plays demonstrate that ‘text-based’\, playwright- rather than director-led theatre can still turn a few tricks” Ben Brooker\, Australian Book Review \nImages by Jack Dixon-Gunn \nSupported by the Malcolm Robertson Foundation [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Cast and Creatives” tab_id=”1452941644640-19a0de81-e87a0201-342dcb0a-2ec9a177-581a2513-a5c51f1f-8993a3c4-5ca5cb85-3d54189f-4d6f8ba6-b9f1783f-69f2″][vc_column_text css=””]Writer and Co-Director: Benjamin Nichol \nPerformer and Co-Director (Milk)\, Dramaturg (Blood): Brigid Gallacher \nPerformer and Co-Director (Blood)\, Dramaturg (Milk): Charles Purcell \nLighting Designer: Harrie Hogan \nSound Designer: Connor Ross \nAdditional Dramaturgy: Izabella Yena \nStage Manager: Jacinta Anderson[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Ticket Prices and Concessions” tab_id=”1452941768731-94b426f3-57530201-342dcb0a-2ec9a177-581a2513-a5c51f1f-8993a3c4-5ca5cb85-3d54189f-4d6f8ba6-b9f1783f-69f2″][vc_column_text css=””]\nTicket Prices:\nPreview: $35\nFull: $49\nConcession: $39\nGroup 6+: $39 \nConcessions:\nPensioners/Full-time students/MEAA members \nTicket sales are subject to a booking fee of $2.00 per ticket plus any merchant charges for payments by American Express[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][vc_empty_space]Buy Tickets [/vc_column][/vc_row]

It depicts nature alongside roads as seen through bus or car windows\, as well as moments when captured on walks through public parks and local reserves. They represent samples of time\, fleeting scenes which reflect on the transience of nature – these landscapes even though they are ordinary they presage threats from development\, overuse and pollution. The works in the exhibition describe meditations on movement and stillness\, celebrating the temporal nature of our passage through space. Some works are revealed as dynamic gestures and some are more contemplative. \n  \nImage captions: \nPark Walk\, Michele Burder\, 2023\, oil on panel\, 51 x 51cm \nBus 508 Wilson Street\, Michele Burder\, 2024\, oil on linen\, 91 x 91cm \nRoute B121 #1 and #2\, 2024\, Michele Burder\, oil on linen\, each 97 x 97cm \nPath NW3 7JN\, Michele Burder\, 2023\, pen and ink on watercolor paper\, framed  48 x 38cm \nM1 Ring Road\, Fyansford Dusk\, Michele Burder\, 2024\, oil on linen\, 50 x 50cm[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933″][vc_column_text css=””]\nMichele Burder is an artist working in Naarm/Melbourne.
