Flight and Function – Silver Leaf Art Box

2015.

Set in the beautiful Silver Leaf Art Box, Flight and Function brings together the work of two artists who find common ground in their connection to nature but diverge in the materiality and conception of their work. Brooker’s birds are nervous, curious and playful – they are skeletal in their essence and barely touch the ground, while Randell’s ceramic pieces are earthed and dense, richly coloured, smooth and well weighted in the hand.

In this exhibition I focus on one of my favourite subjects – birds. Made from salvaged wire, copper, tin and found objects, these works represent fleeting impressions of bird life in both urban and natural environments.

Home – 69 Smith St Gallery

Home. Sculpture and works on paper by ingrid k brooker.

As her childhood home faces imminent demolition, the artist explores themes of memory, place and identity. Memories, especially from childhood, are embedded in the places we lived – the hallway you walked a thousand times, the fancy front room full of treasures, the growth chart scribbled on a doorframe.

These works reference the physical structures of ‘home’ and how we retain memories when the places are gone.

“A gutsy convention-defying gender-euphoric one-person show weaving theatre, magical animation, movement, comedy, puppets & multimedia Other-wise is a captivating, thought-provoking and funny one-person show. It is a letter to Sunny’s family come to life on the stage. This morning I lost my homework and the dog ate my gender.

Children, can you say trans-gender? Animated creatures whisk us into worlds of magic as Sunny explores boy tits, being honest with one’s family, transgender history, learning to fly and getting comfortable with contradictions and not knowing. Other-wise combines creative mediums in surprising and original ways: live objects become animation, dance blends into absurd gameshows, heartfelt storytelling bounces off the page, puppets attempt to hijack the show, and just when you think you’re safe: a splash of musical theatre bursts forth! Temporary multimedia projection surfaces morph and spring up suddenly. In moments, performer and animation are immersed in one another.

Warning: you will only understand this show if you are human & born on planet earth. If you’ve ever tried to fit into other people’s expectations or been worried someone wouldnt understand or be proud of you, then this story is also about you.”

In 2004 I created 40 bespoke resin artworks to be included in the Art Vending Machine project run by Geelong Arts Alliance. The vending machines, at which you could buy original artwork for only $2, travelled around Australia. Pictured is the vending machine at Federation Square, Melbourne.

Melbourne MX

A strange snippet in the MX. I think the writer may have been having some sort of aneurism at the time – but the photographer did a lovely job. And publicity is always good. It was strange travelling on the train on this day seeing people with this page open.
