Jane Giblin’s I Shed My Skin, A Furneaux Islands Story is a 3-year project, investigating a family and community, originating in the Furneaux Islands of Tasmania.

The exhibition explores the story of how a family’s involvement in the mutton-birding industry is changed by the return of Big Dog Island in Franklin Sound to the Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania.

Big Dog Island is where Jane’s Great Grandparents built their birding sheds and was the site of the annual industry that typified their island life. Now, as the rightful property of the Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania, this island community have had to re-adjust their practices.

Jane explores the community’s story through her own family – a family whose experiences have been shaped by their combination of Indigenous and non-Indigenous family members. Some may continue their commercial mutton-bird enterprise, with access to rookeries once used by all. Others must now adapt their practice to amateur regimen in different islands.

This story, with its specific history, geography and characters, acts as a microcosm of such changes across Australia.

The touring exhibition I Shed My Skin, A Furneaux Islands Story is the culmination of Jane’s research, a component of which included a professional creative partnership with the Tasmanian geographer and poet Pete Hay.

The exhibition of new work includes large ink and pigment works on paper, lithographs, analogue black and white photography, an artist’s book (with text by Pete and images by Jane) and a catalogue with an essay by Pete.

Maryann Dwyer’s watercolour landscapes circumnavigate the coast of Tasmania. Her first solo exhibition I Am Here is presented alongside a collection of works by other artists who, together with Maryann, form the Encircle Artist Group.

The Encircle Artist Group is an “art for therapy” group from Glenorchy and Greater Hobart. Through regular meetings and workshops the group have come together to form a supportive community through artmaking. With the guidance and encouragement of volunteer artist facilitator Jill Farmer, each member of the group undertakes their own journey – exploring different mediums and techniques and venturing outside their comfort zone – to discover what works for them and find joy in the artmaking process. Their group exhibition presents their diverse work and represents the creative journeys of each individual artist.

Encircle Artist Group includes:

Margaret Adderton, Robyne Ahern, Kristy Baylis, Barbara Boyle, Helen Brazendale, Sue Brooke, Ken Davison, Mavis Docking, Maryann Dwyer, Patrick Eadington, Noelle Hind, Neen Irby, Tara Johnson, Barbara Lake, Max Martin, Lisa McGee, Ailene Pullen, Abha Ram, Kaylene Seargeant, Karel Van Der Jagt, Elizabeth Walker, Christine Whiteside & Linda Wiss.

In her exhibition Floe, Melanie Roach explores the dynamic relationship between modern society and the natural world. Her works examine the push and pull of responsibility, belonging, change, escapism and community like the heave and flow of glistening water upon sandy shores.

Informed by a recent 8-month trip around Australia, Melanie intertwines newly adopted turquoise hues and bold shapes with layered organic shapes, a dense colour palette and a series of repetitive line markings that are heavily influenced by the Tasmanian wilderness.

Her return to the responsibilities of urban life after time spent consuming the energy and rawness of the wilderness is reflected in these works.

Spending time in pristine wonderlands, driving across endless red desert and gazing into starlit skies has highlighted the artist’s need to reconnect with the wild. Each work weaves a visual narrative that seeks to capture life in a landscape locked in a state of change.

Artist Michael Schlitz and poet Karen Knight launch Balancing – an artist book of woodcut prints and poems.

Michael and Karen first collaborated in 2013 when Bett Gallery teamed them up for the Poets & Painters exhibition. Their collaboration was so successful that it led to a close friendship and the long-term working project Balancing – a finely tuned balancing act between printmaker and poet.

Balancing demonstrates the rich variety and depth of creative stimulation engendered by cross-form exploration. The connections between poem and image are evocative. Karen’s poems work magic alongside Michael’s haunting pictures, taking both artists’ work into new areas.

In Balancing, these artists’ work becomes a communication of lived experience through visual symbolism.

Balancing will be available for purchase at the book launch on Thurs 6 Feb, 6pm and for the duration of the exhibition.

Karen Knight was assisted through Arts Tasmania by the Minister for the Arts.

In her exhibition Floe, Melanie Roach explores the dynamic relationship between modern society and the natural world. Her works examine the push and pull of responsibility, belonging, change, escapism and community like the heave and flow of glistening water upon sandy shores.

Informed by a recent 8-month trip around Australia, Melanie intertwines newly adopted turquoise hues and bold shapes with layered organic shapes, a dense colour palette and a series of repetitive line markings that are heavily influenced by the Tasmanian wilderness.

Her return to the responsibilities of urban life after time spent consuming the energy and rawness of the wilderness is reflected in these works.

Spending time in pristine wonderlands, driving across endless red desert and gazing into starlit skies has highlighted the artist’s need to reconnect with the wild. Each work weaves a visual narrative that seeks to capture life in a landscape locked in a state of change.

Artist Michael Schlitz and poet Karen Knight launch Balancing – an artist book of woodcut prints and poems.

Michael and Karen first collaborated in 2013 when Bett Gallery teamed them up for the Poets & Painters exhibition. Their collaboration was so successful that it led to a close friendship and the long-term working project Balancing – a finely tuned balancing act between printmaker and poet.

Balancing demonstrates the rich variety and depth of creative stimulation engendered by cross-form exploration. The connections between poem and image are evocative. Karen’s poems work magic alongside Michael’s haunting pictures, taking both artists’ work into new areas.

In Balancing, these artists’ work becomes a communication of lived experience through visual symbolism.

Balancing will be available for purchase at the book launch on Thurs 6 Feb, 6pm and for the duration of the exhibition.

Karen Knight was assisted through Arts Tasmania by the Minister for the Arts.

Maryann Dwyer’s watercolour landscapes circumnavigate the coast of Tasmania. Her first solo exhibition I Am Here is presented alongside a collection of works by other artists who, together with Maryann, form the Encircle Artist Group.

The Encircle Artist Group is an “art for therapy” group from Glenorchy and Greater Hobart. Through regular meetings and workshops the group have come together to form a supportive community through artmaking. With the guidance and encouragement of volunteer artist facilitator Jill Farmer, each member of the group undertakes their own journey – exploring different mediums and techniques and venturing outside their comfort zone – to discover what works for them and find joy in the artmaking process. Their group exhibition presents their diverse work and represents the creative journeys of each individual artist.

Encircle Artist Group includes:

Margaret Adderton, Robyne Ahern, Kristy Baylis, Barbara Boyle, Helen Brazendale, Sue Brooke, Ken Davison, Mavis Docking, Maryann Dwyer, Patrick Eadington, Noelle Hind, Neen Irby, Tara Johnson, Barbara Lake, Max Martin, Lisa McGee, Ailene Pullen, Abha Ram, Kaylene Seargeant, Karel Van Der Jagt, Elizabeth Walker, Christine Whiteside & Linda Wiss.
