Ornament

Anne MacDonald

Thursday 18 September - Sunday 26 October 2008

Ornament extends Anne MacDonald’s investigation into the metaphorical relationship between photography and death. The connection with death, through the camera’s arbitrary cut into the continuum of time to form an image, is broadened in these recent works by the artist’s subject matter – porcelain flowers and tin leaves placed on graves from the Victorian era. The photographic object, like the porcelain flower, may arrest time but in truth merely delays the inevitable.

Thursday 12 June - Sunday 20 July 2008

Text is an exciting new collaboration between two respected practitioners which fuses textiles and painting to create new artforms.

The collaboration has allowed both artists to escape the strict boundaries of their mediums and to respond freely to each others work.
