Spin Cycle at Heathcote

Spin Cycle opened last Friday night, the 20th January 2012. If you couldn't make it,  included here are photos with a few short videos of the installation for you to see. It was a wonderful night with a fantastic turn out. Louise Morrison, artist and lecturer, delivered an insightful and entertaining opening speech and was praised by many for her eloquence.

Installation took the better part of a week's effort and energy - impossible without the expertise and professionalism of Heathcote curator, Soula Veyradier and gallery officer, Claire Bushby who made every effort to ensure the show looked amazing.

You will have to exclude the dodgy video & photography - my phone was all I had to hand at the time. Every now and then is a delightful glimpse or squeak from the gorgeous Minerva Honey in the background, she was most patient! Love and hugs to Kathy and Pop Money for their help with her during the week...

 

Clothesline, where for art thou?

Mid-installation yarns often yield interesting results, in this case, today Helen shares the history behind the old washing line timber posts from yonder back yard...

The old clothes-props were lugged from house to house by men for sale during the depression. The sale of these props helped to support their dependent families as well as providing a useful washing line for housewives of the era.

Spin Cycle at Heathcote

Only 9 days to go before we open this show of gorgeousness at Heathcote in Perth...

Thanks to a generous Janet Holmes a Court's ARTIST GRANT through NAVA we might actually be able to afford decent photography to record this momentous occasion.

Check out the information on the show on the Heathcote Museum & Art Gallery website here, and here.

Also thanks to DCA who have come to the rescue for me (Naomie) with an ARTFLIGHT grant so that I might fly from Derby to Perth for the installation and opening night.

Pencil it in the diary - look forward to seeing you there!
