The Before Times Exhibition: Wangaratta Art Gallery
12 Nov – 18 Dec 2022
I’m excited to have three of my bespoke quilt coats included in a new exhibition opening at the Wangaratta Art Gallery on 12th November.
THE BEFORE TIMES
A group exhibition featuring Phong Chi Lai, Tara Glastonbury, Caroline Hadley, Diana Vandeyar, Jessica Wheelahan and Lorena Uriarte.
The term before times dates back centuries and has a long association with imagined worlds and apocalyptic stories. Recently, the before times has taken on new significance as our lives changed dramatically and we fondly remember times before Covid-19.
Six artists have used this phrase as a starting point, some taking their practices back to basics or celebrating the return of inspiration and materials while others explore types of memory or envisage a dystopian future that might await us.
