This year’s theme ‘Tactile’ was inspired by the opening night talk last year when our guest talked about the tactility of fibre, how accessible it is to being touched and felt on the body or in the hand. The artworks must have the major component being made from or include fibre. We have welcomed all varieties of fibre from the natural to manmade. This year has brought in the hand painted or dyed, hand-woven, embroidered, felted, knitted, carved and sewn. Every year we are surprised and delighted by what comes through the door. Scott Cater’s beautifully crafted Silky Oak Coffee tables are juxtaposed with the delicacy of Pauline Ahern’s wall hanging of rust dyed silk. Eric Smith’s embroidery never fails to make you look twice as the eye is initially deceived by the beauty and delicacy of the embroidery, then the words can hit you with a punch. With the content being so disparate from the style his piece titled ‘A Banner for the Brotherhood of Madness...’ has once again shown how subversive embroidery can be.

This exhibition of drawings continues my work exploring immigration, drawing on my own experience as a refugee and looking at how migration has enriched Lismore’s community.

A sense of belonging is a basic human need which is hard to define or measure. Despite experiencing cultural dislocation, many people from diverse backgrounds have woven their lives into the fabric of Lismore finding new homes.

I hope this exhibition not only develops a deeper understanding of the challenges migrants and refugees face, but also the valuable contribution they bring to our vibrant community and the home we share.

In May 2016, 29 broken objects were submitted by members of the public to a team of repair researchers in Canberra before undergoing ‘therapy’. Items of furniture, ceramics, household appliances, textiles, jewellery, sentimental objects and even one human, were all treated and reimagined by noted Australian and international designers and artists including Trent Jansen, Liam Mugavin, Henry Wilson and Alison Jackson.

In transforming these loved but broken items into objects of delight and surprise, Object Therapy showcases innovative design solutions while exploring the attachments we form with objects.

Object Therapy is a project by Hotel Hotel, developed in collaboration with UNSW Art & Design and ANU School of Art and Design, presented by Australian Design Centre with assistance from the Australian Government’s, Visions of Australia program.

Eesti is a video work consisting of field-recordings and photographs taken over a number of weeks in the village of Mooste, Estonia.

Arriving at the beginning of winter the incongruous sounds and sights of Mooste initially stimulated the artist’s senses. Relics from the colonial Soviet-era stood alongside traditional Estonian residences; forests stood beside barren winter farmland. However the weight of Mooste’s colonial history and its dark northern winter gradually became oppressive. The low frequencies emanating from local objects began to reflect the harsh surrounds.

Through the use of sound and image Eesti explores our emotional response to location and is a study into the psycho-geographic construction of “place”.

Grant Vaughan’s work belies our expectations of worked timber. Characterised by a gestural interplay of smooth, rolling forms and juxtaposed with sharp flowing lines and edges, the work is made using a meticulous reductive process. Taking inspiration from the organic forms of natural objects, it offers an impression of growth and honours the inherent beauty of wood.

Vaughan has worked in the Lismore area (from his Rock Valley studio) for over thirty years. His work is represented in many public and private collections including the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; Parliament House Art Collection, Canberra; Power House Museum, Sydney and Museum of Fine Art, Boston. Grant Vaughan has exhibited in Australia, the United State and in the United Kingdom, but this is his first solo exhibition in the Northern Rivers.
