We invite you to join us in launching an exhibition of Deidre's works at The Bank Gallery, 8 Macpherson Street, Carnamah daily Thursday 18 to Sunday 28 November 10.00am to 3.00pm

This is a free event and no RSVP is required

You are invited to the anticipated exhibition launch of HOLDING by Martien van Zuilen.

Martien van Zuilen is a feltmaker and fibre artist from Perth. She uses sheep’s fleece to create hand-felted objects and distinctive artworks for exhibitions. Martien is passionate about sharing her skills through immersive community arts projects and hands-on workshops.

Martien has been artist-in-residence in the North Midlands for the past 2 months, exploring the region, its collections and stories of wool and sheep farming. Her artworks in HOLDING were created during her residency and present her impressions and response to local history, heritage, stories, and significant places within the region and the natural landscape.

The works aim to reflect people’s connection to country, the significance of community, and life on the farm - a holding by any other name. Created using local wool, water from the region’s historic natural springs, native vegetation, found objects and other materials, the materials reflect the very location in which the artworks were created, as well as human interaction with the land, and a heart-FELT sense of place.

Exhibition Launch

Monday 6 December 2021
