OCTOBER 25 – SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH MARDBALK ARTISTS FROM GOULBURN ISLAND

“FROM THE HEART OF WARRUWI” – An afternoon salon with visiting Artists

Tali Gallery will be hosting 6 traditional Aboriginal artists and staff from Goulburn Island off the Coast of Arnhem Land towards the end of October.  The artists will be staying in the Rozelle community and will be involved in curating and exhibiting their wonderful carvings, painted barks and woven artefacts.

“From the Heart of Warruwi” is a self determination skills development exercise for this Community Art Centre. It will also provide the opportunity for visitors to the Gallery to see the artists at work, creating bark paintings, carving and weaving with pandanus and to learn about the Creation stories that are inspired by the marine life within the surrounding Arafura Sea.

All are welcome to attend a Saturday Salon at Tali Gallery on the afternoon of 25th October between 2 and 5pm when the artists will be demonstrating their work and interacting with visitors.  Light refreshments will be served during the course of the afternoon.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2 to 4pm –  GUMNUT SALON WITH JEWELLERY ARTIST, CLEONIE QUAYLE :

Cleonie says:

“A lot of the designs are my father’s Country, Barkindji (Paakindji) which means river people, Barka means river, as the great Murray River flows through Wilcannia. Some people say Barkindji and some people say Paakindji, it’s the same region, one just means north of the river the other means south of the river. The squares represents our lands, because we are known as the Corner Country, because our Country is on the boarder of NSW, QLD and SA.

Dad was born in White Cliffs, the dirt underground is white.

Another necklace design is my interpretation of a woven basket for fishing (the 3 lines is also the women’s symbol) and of course the one gumnut representing my father’s Country again.

I like working with gemstones, because it’s symbolic of our Country, because out west is famous for its gemstones.”
