At Art Appreciation on Monday 1st July we listened to Claire Beausein as she explained her exhibition titled Smells Like Rain. Claire is a local artist, having been born in Wangaratta before moving to Sydney then moving back to this area. Her works are mostly solid images made up of wild silk cocoons, graphite and thread on washi paper. She also has one work made of magnifying glass, fragments of metal silver wire and bronze rod on museum board. There are also several works made by floating ink and thread on washi paper and producing images when the paper is withdrawn from the ink.
On Monday 5 August at 10am August, coinciding with her exhibition, Growing up with you, join artist Mimi Leung for a talk which she explores her illustrative practice and reflects on how her attitudes to art and her own practice have changed as she has grown up and had children. Now based in Shepparton, Mimi was born and grew up in Hong Kong, studying graphic design then completing an MA in Communication Art and Design in 2007 at the Royal College of Art. A multidisciplinary artist working across drawing, animation and illustration, Mimi’s work “explores identity, belonging and using art to understand and transcend the mundanity of daily life.”
