19 Feb – 20 Mar
Open Tuesday to Friday 10am–5pm, Saturday 10am–2pm
Adrienne Charles has been designing and producing counted cross stitch kits as her business Nostalgia Tasmania since 1989. The aim — to promote the beauty of Tasmania. She describes her work as ‘tourism through craft’.
Adrienne’s designs have been enjoyed by many, and the kits have been posted to many places around the world.
Adrienne has exhibited at the Tasmanian Craft Fair in Deloraine, Agfest, Bothwell Spin In, Glenorchy Market Day, Triabunna Village, Middleton Country Fair, in Hamilton (New Zealand), in Elmore (Victoria), plus other smaller events. She was awarded second place in the state-wide inaugural Premier’s Choice competition in the first year of her business. She also won Best Craft Exhibiton at Agfest in 2010.
Adrienne no longer takes part in large shows — “there comes a time for everyone!” she says — so this is a very special opportunity to see a range of her finished designs.

19 Feb – 20 Mar
Open Tuesday to Friday 10am–5pm, Saturday 10am–2pm
Jo Chew is drawn to this image — a strange image of a bamboo ‘house’ covered in plastic and twine. It is not static but moving, with legs emerging from its base. It is walking, going somewhere, journeying. The house is slightly transparent, a thin skin of a covering, enough to protect, but still fragile and vulnerable. In some images the backlighting gives a surreal glow to parts of this form, in others it appears more like a fabric wrapped building by Christo, beautifully off white but with a slight pink tinge where the plastic gathers. The legs are strong and resolute. With black shoes and leggings, they look almost like the disappearing legs of a costumed performer or prop mover on a stage.
Jo came across the image, and its story, by accident. But instantly saw potential in it as a metaphoric and poetic object.
It speaks of the nomadic, of temporary shelter, of both the need to protect ourselves in our homes and the need to move on — or more specifically to move back to, or find, a home.

Open Tuesday to Friday 10am–5pm, Saturday 10am–2pm
Roulette explores the biological and social restrictions that surround the female body in the contemporary age. It is a visual interrogation of the boundaries and experiences of modern-day femininity. Andrea Green responds to the female body as a continual political site, through mixed media paintings and hanging textile works.
Roulette is a personal response to over a decade of using the contraceptive pill. Circular forms are a strong visual theme in the body of work, as well as hand sewn items called Suffolk puffs. The fabric is refrained and restricted from a natural form reflecting the internal and external factors of the female experience.
The work explores sexual awareness and reproductive rights and the subsequent hardship imposed upon Tasmanian women. This is emblematic of a broader social attitude that has persisted for millennia: that women are responsible for policing their own bodies, and that a failure to do so should be punished.
This local issue sits against the backdrop of global debates around bodily autonomy, equality, and women’s rights, and the ongoing nature of the struggle for an equal, respectful world.

Adrienne’s designs have been enjoyed by many, and the kits have been posted to many places around the world.
Adrienne has exhibited at the Tasmanian Craft Fair in Deloraine, Agfest, Bothwell Spin In, Glenorchy Market Day, Triabunna Village, Middleton Country Fair, in Hamilton (New Zealand), in Elmore (Victoria), plus other smaller events. She was awarded second place in the state-wide inaugural Premier’s Choice competition in the first year of her business. She also won Best Craft Exhibiton at Agfest in 2010.
Adrienne no longer takes part in large shows — “there comes a time for everyone!” she says — so this is a very special opportunity to see a range of her finished designs.

Open Tuesday to Friday 10am–5pm, Saturday 10am–2pm
Jo Chew is drawn to this image — a strange image of a bamboo ‘house’ covered in plastic and twine. It is not static but moving, with legs emerging from its base. It is walking, going somewhere, journeying. The house is slightly transparent, a thin skin of a covering, enough to protect, but still fragile and vulnerable. In some images the backlighting gives a surreal glow to parts of this form, in others it appears more like a fabric wrapped building by Christo, beautifully off white but with a slight pink tinge where the plastic gathers. The legs are strong and resolute. With black shoes and leggings, they look almost like the disappearing legs of a costumed performer or prop mover on a stage.
Jo came across the image, and its story, by accident. But instantly saw potential in it as a metaphoric and poetic object.
It speaks of the nomadic, of temporary shelter, of both the need to protect ourselves in our homes and the need to move on — or more specifically to move back to, or find, a home.

Roulette explores the biological and social restrictions that surround the female body in the contemporary age. It is a visual interrogation of the boundaries and experiences of modern-day femininity. Andrea Green responds to the female body as a continual political site, through mixed media paintings and hanging textile works.
Roulette is a personal response to over a decade of using the contraceptive pill. Circular forms are a strong visual theme in the body of work, as well as hand sewn items called Suffolk puffs. The fabric is refrained and restricted from a natural form reflecting the internal and external factors of the female experience.
The work explores sexual awareness and reproductive rights and the subsequent hardship imposed upon Tasmanian women. This is emblematic of a broader social attitude that has persisted for millennia: that women are responsible for policing their own bodies, and that a failure to do so should be punished.
This local issue sits against the backdrop of global debates around bodily autonomy, equality, and women’s rights, and the ongoing nature of the struggle for an equal, respectful world.

Free film screening to mark 100 years of the Archibald Prize.
Looby is a film about the eponymous Australian artist Keith Looby. Keith Looby won many major awards, including (in controversial circumstances) the Archibald Prize.
The Archibald Prize always creates much discussion about portraiture. Looby adds personality and politics to the mix. Among other things, the film delves into the painter’s focus on Indigenous history and trauma at a time when Australian institutions were of a “history began with the First Fleet” mindset.
Documentary Screening followed by producer Q&A

Jo Chew is drawn to this image — a strange image of a bamboo ‘house’ covered in plastic and twine. It is not static but moving, with legs emerging from its base. It is walking, going somewhere, journeying. The house is slightly transparent, a thin skin of a covering, enough to protect, but still fragile and vulnerable. In some images the backlighting gives a surreal glow to parts of this form, in others it appears more like a fabric wrapped building by Christo, beautifully off white but with a slight pink tinge where the plastic gathers. The legs are strong and resolute. With black shoes and leggings, they look almost like the disappearing legs of a costumed performer or prop mover on a stage.
Jo came across the image, and its story, by accident. But instantly saw potential in it as a metaphoric and poetic object.
It speaks of the nomadic, of temporary shelter, of both the need to protect ourselves in our homes and the need to move on — or more specifically to move back to, or find, a home.

Adrienne no longer takes part in large shows — “there comes a time for everyone!” she says — so this is a very special opportunity to see a range of her finished designs.

Jo Chew is drawn to this image — a strange image of a bamboo ‘house’ covered in plastic and twine. It is not static but moving, with legs emerging from its base. It is walking, going somewhere, journeying. The house is slightly transparent, a thin skin of a covering, enough to protect, but still fragile and vulnerable. In some images the backlighting gives a surreal glow to parts of this form, in others it appears more like a fabric wrapped building by Christo, beautifully off white but with a slight pink tinge where the plastic gathers. The legs are strong and resolute. With black shoes and leggings, they look almost like the disappearing legs of a costumed performer or prop mover on a stage.
Jo came across the image, and its story, by accident. But instantly saw potential in it as a metaphoric and poetic object.
It speaks of the nomadic, of temporary shelter, of both the need to protect ourselves in our homes and the need to move on — or more specifically to move back to, or find, a home.
Jo Chew is represented by Despard Gallery

Roulette explores the biological and social restrictions that surround the female body in the contemporary age. It is a visual interrogation of the boundaries and experiences of modern-day femininity. Andrea Green responds to the female body as a continual political site, through mixed media paintings and hanging textile works.
Roulette is a personal response to over a decade of using the contraceptive pill. Circular forms are a strong visual theme in the body of work, as well as hand sewn items called Suffolk puffs. The fabric is refrained and restricted from a natural form reflecting the internal and external factors of the female experience.
The work explores sexual awareness and reproductive rights and the subsequent hardship imposed upon Tasmanian women. This is emblematic of a broader social attitude that has persisted for millennia: that women are responsible for policing their own bodies, and that a failure to do so should be punished.
This local issue sits against the backdrop of global debates around bodily autonomy, equality, and women’s rights, and the ongoing nature of the struggle for an equal, respectful world.
