Contemporary Australia: Women - Part Two

I wrote previously about  the work of Noel Skryzpczak in the Exhibition - Contemporary Australia: Women. The exhibition included many more artists whose work I found most inspiring.

Chromosome x 2012 : Hiromi Tango

As you enter the Gallery the giant work Chromosome x by Hiromi Tango dwarfs visitors. 

The artist used a variety of colourful materials - fabric, toys, and notes, to create this towering installation. All these items have a personal significance to Tango and her collaborators.  

Delightful finds include Peter Rabbit nestled there as well.

The shadows cast by Sally Smart’s Artists Dolls are as interesting as the actual sculptures.

Monika Tichacek’s fine watercolour drawings display a fascination with the natural world. I loved the intricacy and delicacy of the detailed drawings.

The work of painters from the Amata region is so vibrant - collaborative work by the grandmothers, mothers, daughters and grandchildren - I’ll leave you with a couple of images to enjoy.
