CREATIVE CUTS - Three art exhibitions

Until August 25 the Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre will exhibit nine local artists in three separate exhibitions and another eight artists from the Wide Bay Burnett area in a First Nations weaving exhibition.

Michael Augustine’s solo show explores the remote landscapes of the northwest Queensland outback. Artists Julia Vail, Margie Gibson and Victoria Bradbury highlight process and improvisation in a group of 2D works on paper and canvas and 3D works using ceramic, fibre and mixed media.

Artists Lynne Saunders, Judy Barass, Barb Hart and Elizabeth Farrell focus their work on print-making, artist book-making, paper and paper-making, incorporating new technologies and pushing traditional boundaries.

The Threads of Unity exhibition is drawn from a four-day retreat in the mountains on the border of Kabbi Kabbi and Wakka Wakka territories which centred on Weaving, Wellbeing, and Wonderful Women. It is presented by the First Nations organisation Stepping Black. (Pictured is Gorge by Michael Augustine.)
