Fremantle Art Centre artist in residency and solo exhibition Backwards/Forwards 2007

In November 2007 Belinda undertook a one month artist in residency at the Fremantle Arts Centre. The project was a first for Belinda to create a full room installation. Technically and conceptually challenging, this project pushed the artist as never before. It was a frantic month but interesting new work came from the experience. To see the works in progress and the final pieces please go to PROJECTS and WORKS page.

Donation from proceeds of 'Keepsake' pages at Fremantle Art Centre.

For those who did not get to the Fremantle exhibition, part of the back wall of the installation was covered with stamped pages from war related books. All these pages were for sale at a nominal price and the artist royalties were to be donated to a charity that supported women in Afghanistan or Iraq. Belinda is happy to say $500 was donated in April to CARE Australia from these sales. The money will go to supporting a program called Reflect - Empowerment for widows of Afghanistan.

Thank you to all those who purchased a page. Your support was most valued and appreciated.

Collections

In 2007 Belinda's work was collected by Art Bank and the National Gallery of Australia. And to kick off 2008 the University of Wollongong have selected 6 pieces for their collection and most recently a concertina book 'Higher-Ground' was acquired from the Ex Libris Artist book award at Artspace Mackay, QLD.
