Wangaratta Contemporary Textile Award 2011 take 2

Must admit that I have been preoccupied with exhibitions and other important issues lately.  I have had to neglect my art network and blog due to these other pressing priorities.  One of them being that it is only 9 degrees C here today and I need to keep wood on the fires and may be off the internet again this week when I have to start the generator later today.

I do hope that all know that I am looking forward to having a look at your blogs as soon as time and electricity situation here permits.

Here are the photos that I promised from Wangaratta Contemporary Textile Award Exhibition.

I admit that the photographs here are not very good, and now realise that I did not photograph enough of the beautiful work at this exhibition. If you want to see these artworks in better detail  then they are all beautifully represented in the Exhibition Catalogue that can be obtained from the Wangaratta Regional Art Gallery for $11.00.


 From left to right.  Tide by Cecillia Heffer, Every Darkness brings a new Dawn by me, and the winning entry 8.9  by Patrick Snelling.

me too Teresa, I'am not that often at the computer any more, due to holidays, organising some workshops and a fashionshow and some fysical neck-problems. But I have read most of the posts now and you have been working very hard. It's just a pity that some of your photo's from the exhibition were not showed on my screen. Very poetic title, I like it when you make me thinking... hugsD
