Pamela Fairburn's exhibition Waterstories has just come down and I know that everyone will be sad to see it go. We had many busy days with lots of visitors during the three week exhibition and a packed house at her artist talk on Saturday 2nd June.
We now have Laura Jade showing her small sculptures "White Parazoa" in the Library Square Sculpture Plinth. It is a series of small sculptures initially inspired by the Victorian era. The geometric forms reference the designs of neck ruffles and lace of the period, whilst also referencing the appearance of cabinets of curios and the rise in scientific discoveries in the 17th- 19th centuries. The work also draws upon the ideas in the illustrations of biologist Ernst Haeckel in Art Forms in Nature focusing on sea creatures and the array of symmetrical and geometrical patterns found in living organisms.
Laura Jade is an artist currently living in Lane Cove, Sydney. Laura completed her BFA at the National Art School in 2007 and has since been involved in Australian group shows, was an awarded finalist in the prestigious Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize and had a solo exhibition of her paintings at Lane Cove music & cultural center last year. Laura’s art practice is inspired by Science and Natural History. Laura's sculptures are on exhibit in the Plinth until the 20th June when they will be heading to Adelaide where they have been shortlisted for the Waterhouse Natural History Prize. Find out more about Laura Jade.
