SHOW OF THE WEEK part 4

energised
Counihan Gallery in Brunswick is an interesting space - ideally suited to group shows. The ladies of hml have seen some corkers there and so we think the new exhibtion Embodied Energy will be a sure thing. Especially with the likes of Chaco Kato, Ilka White and Mary Louise Edwards (who constructs her work out of...cork). There is some waffle about sustainable art practice on the invitation that caused our eyes to glaze over a little. Craft has always been about using whats available, reusing what has been discarded, rethinking material, so it's a bit like preaching to the converted. We plan to pop into Savers on the way home to scramble for lost ceramic treasure, nanna blankets and mystery tapestries. How we can sustain our need to hoard we'll never know...
