Collection news and publications
It is with great excitement that Belinda and Neville French's ceramic vessel 'Limnonari Vessel 3' shown earlier this year in Sydney is now part of the National Gallery of Victoria collection.
In the coming months two major articles will be published about this unique partnership in two ceramic journals. The first will be a feature article in the 'Journal of Australian Ceramics' - out in late Novmeber. And a review of the Sydney show will also be in the international journal 'Ceramic Art and Perception' due out at the end of the year. So keep your eyes peeled for both of these as they hit the book stores.
Art Vault Exhibition and Residency
In September Belinda travelled back to her home town of Mildura to install a unique 5 meter work on paper wall piece - 'Finding my way II' at the Art Vault gallery. The original piece was made in Perth for Turner Galleries in 2009 and during Belinda's recent stay in Mildura the work was adapted and extended to compliment the new venue. During her stay the artist made the age old paper origami childrens game - fortune tellers to add to the piece. The audience were also encouraged to make their own or to take one of the tellers home with them. It is with great pleasure to announce that the work will now become part of the Mildura Arts Centre Collection as a donation by the artist.Upcoming
So what is next - besides a nice holiday at the end of the year Belinda will be busy preparing for her collaborative show with Neville French at Beaver galleries in Canberra due to open in March 2012. This exhibition will aim to fully integrate the 3d ceramic forms and the 2d paintings into a type of installation or groupings. The artists are also exploring Belinda's unusual printmaking techniques and Neville's glazing expertise in the 3d ceramic forms. So far testing is proving quite interesting results. We will wait to see what transpires from these experiments...
