2024 Hughes Gallery, Fullarton Park Community Centre - Form and Shadow

 

Saturday 17 February – Monday 11 March

Shadows speak about the shape and texture of objects and the source of transient light. Local artists, using natural and reclaimed materials, combine the ancient craft of basket making with contemporary flair ​to weave ​practical ​and sculptural forms with the subtlety of shadow in mind.
2022 Adelaide Fringe Exhibition at Urrbrae House - Made While Nobody was Looking

 

Saturday 19 February-Tuesday 1 March

An exhibition of contemporary basketry and fibre sculptures presented by the members of Basketry SA. Natural and recycled materials, found objects, skill and a lot of imagination make up for a wonderful display of useful objects and decorative pieces.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic many pieces were made when makers could no longer meet to exchange ideas and techniques, continuing in their own homes while nobody was looking.
