We are the unwelcome. We should take our misfortune elsewhere. \n– Sea Prayer by Khaled Hosseini \nThey desperately fled the danger and horror of their homes\, now deserted. They left with longing and loss for those who had to stay behind\, for the promised land\, not their own\, far away and unwelcoming. The journey dangerous and frightening\, in the rubber boats into which they were crammed\, men\, women and their children\, whilst the waves mounted and their flimsy transport to freedom and safety\, disintegrated beneath them. One can die in many ways. They are asylum seekers. \nIn my work I have tried to represent the danger\, despair and lingering hope in the faces\, caricatures of humanity. \nI have chosen a combination of yacht sails with the rubber dinghies. At once symbols of lingering hope and creeping fear and despair. The hope remains in the sails as a propulsive force that with the wind\, which exits\, but cannot be seen. \nThey risk everything for a chance of freedom.  How many boats are never seen.  How many people are never fished from the sea. \nIn contrast to the imagery of asylum seekers we see in journalistic imagery presented through newspapers\, journals and the news\, this body of work presents my personal\, emotional expression. \nMargaret Gold \nSupport can be sort through:\nAsylum Seeker Resource Centre\nAustralian Red Cross\nFoundation House and the Brigidine Asylum Seeker Project \n*The artist has pledged a percentage of sales from this exhibition to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre \n\nFounded in 2001\, the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) is Australia’s largest human rights organisation providing support to people seeking asylum.\nThe ASRC is an independent not-for-profit organisation whose programs support and empower people seeking asylum to maximise their own physical\, mental and social wellbeing.\nThey champion the rights of people seeking asylum and mobilise a community of compassion to create lasting social and policy change.\nThe ASRC movement is proudly supported by a community of committed volunteers and supporters and assists around 7\,000 people seeking asylum each year.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef”][vc_column_text]\nMARGARET GOLD C.V.\nBorn in Melbourne\, Australia\n1979 – 81 Studied at Richmond College in London\n1982 – 84 Fine Arts degree at the Victorian College of the Arts\, majoring in Sculpture and Painting \nSelected Solo Exhibitions\n2022 fortyfivedownstairs\, Melbourne\n2018 fortyfivedownstairs\, Melbourne\n2013 fortyfivedownstairs\, Melbourne\n2010 fortyfivedownstairs\, Melbourne\nSPAN Galleries\, Melbourne\nSPAN Galleries\, Melbourne\nAustralian Galleries\, Collingwood\nJudith Pugh Gallery\, Fitzroy\n1990 Arden Street Gallery\, North Melbourne \nSelected Group Exhibitions\n2019     Group Show – 45 Downstairs\, Melbourne 20 x 20 cm\n2018     Group Show – 45 Downstairs\, Melbourne 20 x 20 cm\n2017     45 at 45 – Exhibition 45 Downstairs Gallery\, Melbourne\n2014     WHO’s LOOKING AT YOU – Portrait Prize\, Cambridge Studio Gallery\n2011     Postcard Show – Linden Galleries\, St. Kilda\n2010     Exhibition – Chapman and Bailey Gallery – Belle Arti Prize\n2007     Group Show\, SPAN Galleries\nMelbourne Art Fair – Exhibition Building\n1998     Group Show – 45 Downstairs (anti-Grand Prix)\nFitzroy Gallery\, Fitzroy\nDrawing Exhibition – Raw Studios\n1988     Tenth Mildura Sculpture Triennial\n‘Sculpture ‘85’\, World Trade Centre\, Melbourne\n‘Graven Images’\, Art Gallery of Western Australia in association with Perth International Festival of the Arts\, Perth W.A.\nGroup Show\, Victorian College of the Arts\n1981     Orleans House\, London U.K. \nCollected in London\, Germany\, U.S.A.  and Australia \nPublications:  Tenth Mildura Sculpture Triennial ‘Graven Images’ Perth International Festival of Arts\, W.A.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]
