     Title: Shadows of Your Garden: fashion + photography

This exhibition features the collaboration between local fashion designer and jeweller, Sharka Bosakova, and photographic artist Renata Buziak, screen printing by Jacek Rybinski and photographs by Louis Lim, Nadia Masot and Hannah Piper. Many of Sharka’s innovative designs use material silkscreen printed with images derived from Renata’s experimental ‘biochromes’. This unique photographic technique, developed by Renata, uses the chemical and biological reaction between decomposing organic matter and photographic emulsions. This exhibition includes short film of 'Enrapt' filmed by Donna and Tony Hamilton, edited by Tony Hamilton.

This exhibition features 100 stories of great Australian women who have broken professional barriers and 100 brooches made in response to these stories by 100 of Australia’s most talented women jewellers. Covering arts, sciences, sports, entertainment, medicine and other disciplines as well as contemporary jewellery, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor… has a wide appeal and generates pride for the milestones set by the women of the past and provides inspiration for the women of the future. This is an artisan travelling exhibition toured by Museum and Gallery Services Queensland supported by Visions of Australia, an Australian Government Program supporting touring exhibitions by providing funding assistance for the development and touring of Australian cultural material across Australia.

Artwork by Logan Artists Association (LAA) explores objects of special importance or obsession. These objects may be common household or personal possessions, family or celebrities, local landmarks or the natural environment. The variety of mediums reflects the diversity of art created at the LAA Art and Pottery Studios.

Donna Davis presents ten distinct individuals in ‘portrait’: not with faces but with photographs of their objects and mementos. Objects & mementos captures each sitter’s unique story through their collections, reflecting on the unique tapestry of characters which make up Queensland communities.
