Frogs View is in a new art book

Frogs View 2009 - Teresa Poletti Glover

I am very happy to say that I have just been formally advised that the artwork "Frogs View"  2009, will be included in a new art book written by Mary Schoeser.

The book will be published mid 2012 by Thames & Hudson and will be entitled  Textiles:  The Art of Mankind.


The artwork "Frogs View"  also won a Contemporary Art Textile Award at Buda Historic Home and Gallery in Castlemaine in 2010.

The opening

The opening of my exhibition"Distinction and Dissimilarity"  was very successful last Thursday evening.

Lots of people came along to the exhibition opening and I had many very positive comments about my artwork, as well as some sales.  

Many of the people at the exhibition understood the vegetation around Bendigo and could relate to the story and appreciate the subtleties expressed in the upright fibre and felt sculptures.

Petrus Spronk did a fantastic job of opening the show with a wonderful story and it was enjoyed by everyone.

It is great to have a solo exhibition  at the LaTrobe Visual Art Centre in Bendigo, located opposite the Bendigo Regional Gallery inView Street.  And it was wonderful working with Paul and Gail to bring the show together, and work with Petrus setting the show out.

I also need to thank Pamela and Wes at  Mandurang Valley Winery, for supporting the exhibition with their excellent selection of wine.

Here are a few photographs from the opening night.

Have just found something beautiful to share with you.

I love Nicole Dextras and her incredible weed wardrobe art work

Enjoy

clouds in the sky

its overcast again, it was yesterday as well
there is no sunshine or solar power today

and so the washing piles up
the music stops, the lights go off,
and the outdoors beckons

the trials and tribulations of living around the sun

the bushland has a softness that can only be admired when the sun is not out
there are no harsh shadows or stark contrasts
just soft greyish greens, and tones of redish pinkish greys and browns
its nice to see
nice to walk in

so I am off for a walk in the swamp to listen to the birds
and admire it all

SWAMP/GRASSLAND

Out on the flat swampy grassland it is alive and earthy

with water, dark mud, grasses, and large trees
