Amanda Thompson Solo Exhibition Demolition

ARTIST STATEMENT                                                                                                                           My solo exhibition titled ‘Demolition’, held at ARC, Yinnar in September this year.

This body of work is centred on the process of pulling apart Hazelwood Power Station.

I worked from photographs which I took of various stages and aspects of the process of demolition.

As a long term resident of Latrobe Valley, I am used to heavy industry being part of the landscape.

In this body of work, I have used the technique of drypoint mostly, as I find it suggests the grimy agedness of these old industrial landmarks.

I have worked as usual, large scale to commemorate Hazelwood’s imposing size.

With my drawing style, combined with the drypoint technique, I have attempted to pay tribute to a now vanished industrial landmark.

Amanda Thompson.

Textile Workshop: Making Banners with Dijanne Cevaal

8 March International Women's Day

This International Women's day draw inspiration from banners used in various movements, especially women's movements  such as the suffragette movement, to  provoke, empower and express ideas and and hopes for women in the 21st century. Our concerns are wide ranging and all worthy of expression. Banners often use the power of language but can also use simple graphic images to generate ideas and mottos. 

 Women have been such an important and integral part of the ideas and social agenda of Arc over its 40 years of existence by way of its posters, art, paintings ,sculptures, ceramics, music and  community activities- lets encapsulate some of that feeling  into banners which could be used at various activities in the future. Banners for all sorts of things were traditionally made from fabric so they could be reused and were often displayed around meeting rooms.

Dijanne will help you create your own banner and  will supply  most of the materials needed including needles and thread ( we will work by hand) but do bring your own materials and equipment if you have it. Bring your own lunch/food to share.

Cost $10.00

Brewed Coffee and tea will be available

to Mar 13

2022 Women’s Exhibition ‘A Sideways Glance, 40 Years On’

 A  Sideways Glance – 40 years on. 

Whilst Grace Tame’s recent sideways glance comes to mind it could also be a glance at 40 years of women’s art at ARC - are we still making statements? Should we be making statements? 

In 1983 Malcolm Fraser was Prime Minister- has the art landscape changed much since then- has your art changed since then? Please spread the word to friends family and other women. We would love to see  a wonderful feisty exhibition! Entry forms available arcyinnar@speedweb.com.au

Morning Walks in the Pandemic An exhibition by Dijanne Cevaal in SParc Gallery

Dijanne Cevaal creates beautifully stitched textile works on dyed fabric that incorporate lino, monotype and screen printed imagery. In this exhibition Dijanne has been inspired by her discoveries on her morning walks near her home in Gippsland during the Pandemic.
‘I walked most mornings during the reign of the Pandemic these last 18 months and I feel fortunate to have had access to such a wonderful little bushland reserve. I took lots of photos and also wrote down random thoughts when I got home from my walk which I have fashioned into a poem of sorts. I have had some booklets made also entitled ‘Morning Walks in the Pandemic’ and have created new work in response to my walks, inspired by pickings and my photos.
