Surroundings Exhibition - Morning Tea
IMMERSE YOURSELF IN SURROUNDINGS
Surroundings, a new exhibition at the Redlands Museum, presents expressions by two highly individual artists of their connection with and passion for the natural environment. Visitors to the Museum will have a one-off opportunity to be introduced to the artists and their chosen art processes in a floor talk being held at the Museum.
Rhyl Henzell, a cyanotype artist, draws inspiration from objects found on morning walks around the bay. Rhyl uses fabric and watercolour paper to create artwork using a fascinating mix of media – sometimes over existing images, to enhance the play of colour and effect. Rhyl will describe her eco-printing process, utilising natural tannins and sunlight, how the images start on watercolour paper and how she subtlety enhances them with watercolour, archival inks or wax coloured pencils and sometimes with gold or silver leaf.
Jos Mitchell is a multi-medium artist. She will demonstrate and explain some of the building techniques she employs to hand-create ceramic pieces of various sizes, the tools she uses and the inspiration that she draws from daily walks. Drawing on skills honed as a professional photographer, Jos’s work is a celebration of colours and textures.
