Featured Artist - Rozalie Sherwood

1. Rozalie Sherwood, Nyiragongo, 2019. Linen, ink, thread, acrylic sheet. 40 x 40 cm. Image by Andrew Sikorski.

My recent work was influenced by time spent in DRC (Congo) in 2019 - a country disrupted by war, poverty, corruption and tribalism. These works reflect my observations, experiences and conversations, mostly with women. Their lives are hard and dangerous. Making the work was helpful in processing the experience.

Wangaratta Petite Miniature Textiles exhibition

12 June -16 August | Gallery 1

JUNE – AUGUST

Petite Miniature Textiles 2020 exhibition is the 6th iteration of this popular and much loved event. Occurring biennially, this exhibition showcases the best small textile artworks from around the nation. This exhibition continues to grow in popularity with artists from around the country participating by creating contemporary textiles no larger than 30x30x30cm.

Petite has become a highlight of the gallery’s program and focus for contemporary textile art practitioners. A diverse array of techniques and themes explore everything from colour, texture and decoration to social, political and environmental issues, propelling textiles into the realm of the visual arts.

To celebrate the 2020 Petite exhibition the Wangaratta Art Gallery is proud to release this beautifully designed online catalogue that is guaranteed to delight and intrigue all of those who choose to explore. It will act as an important archive recording this year’s event, recording this unique time in history due to the COVID restrictions, but most importantly allowing access to all who are not able to visit the exhibition in person.
