Get Creative for Health + Happiness!
EXHIBITION
You're invited to check out artist in residence Mikaela Castledine's exhibition at The Bank Gallery, 8 Macpherson Street in Carnamah.
10am to 2pm on Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th May
10am to 2pm on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd May
These works form part of an anthology of sculptural illustrations of personal fairytales, made from childhood memories and family chronicles. The exhibition is populated with characters from my childhood and from stories that have been lent to me by others. Once brought to life they will tell new stories of bones and blood, of falling and fear and all the many beatings of your heart.
