s.

I feel very privileged and incredibly excited to be exhibiting a body of katazome work in my first international solo exhibition at GalleryGallery in Kyoto, Japan from 23 February - 9 March 2013.

In 2011 I was mentored by GalleryGallery owner Keiko Kawashima through JUMP, the Australia Council’s national mentoring program for young and emerging artists. s. would not have been possible without Keiko's fantastic support; the wonderful DMV Consulting Award, granted by the Capital Arts Patrons' Organisation, that I received in 2011; and the invaluable 2013 Project Funding that I received from artsACT to assist with costs of mounting an international solo exhibition.

A huge thank you to all for enabling me to enhance my practice and move to the next stage of my career.

For anyone who might be in Kyoto, Japan between now and 9 March 2013 please pop in to GalleryGallery to visit s. and to say hello.

repeat repeat exhibition opening

Thursday last week was the official opening of Repeat Repeat at Megalo Print Studio + Gallery. It was a lovely evening with many people crowding into the gallery on a chilly Canberra night. There was good company, yummy nibbles and wine, and of course beautiful textiles adorning the gallery walls!

Below is a quick snap of my three lengths in situ which I took on my phone on opening night. I hope to get back in to Megalo during the next week with my camera whilst the exhibition is still showing to take some better images :)

'ka' ripi-to

These are a few images of the third and final design that I have been working on recently for Repeat Repeat. The first two images are sage green pigment printed on green organic cotton canvas offcuts, and the final detail is sage green pigment printed on lovely grey slubby organic cotton/recycled hemp blend - yum!

repeat repeat

The three new hand-printed typographic lengths that I have shown in progress in recent posts are ready to exhibit - yay! They will be on display in the group exhibition Repeat Repeat at Megalo Print Studio + Gallery from today (Tuesday 7 June) until Saturday 25 June 2011. The official opening (for those who are in Canberra and surrounds) will be held at 6pm on Thursday 9 June 2011.
Would love to see you there!


This is the exhibition poster for Repeat Repeat printed by the lovely staff at Megalo and showcasing a design by Indigenous artist Ceretha Skinner.

metres of 'a'

With a little time up my sleeve and a few extra hours in the studio I made the most of having this pattern on screen and printed some extra lengths with the 40-50cm wide offcuts from previous printing endeavours.

the second length

With a fresh container of pigment mixed and ready to go, the second length for exhibition was waiting to be printed.

Testing the repeat

After stripping and re-emulsing the large screen that I am using - it was time to test the repeat on my second design. I have to say that I am very pleased with the result. This 'a' pattern will be the second length for Repeat Repeat.

exhibition preparation

After a few more hours in the studio and a couple of test runs of my new 'f' pattern, I have printed the first length for exhibition in Repeat Repeat at Megalo Print Studio + Gallery next month.

back in the studio

The small hiatus since my last post has been filled with much busy-ness and excitement.

We celebrated our engagement (resulting from a wonderful beach proposal in December last year) by sharing a delicious BBQ in a local national park with family and friends on a gorgeous day in late February.


Since then I have been very excited to be 'back in the studio' - designing and printing. Most recently I have been occupied on studio days with preparations of new designs for a group exhibition, Repeat Repeat, which is being curated by, and held at, Megalo Print Studio + Gallery in June 2011. The first design that I have been working on is a new 'f' pattern. This is the first test printed in red water-based pigment on organic cotton/hemp blend fabric.
