With a mixture of older and new<br />
work, Craft ACT presents Eliza-<br />
Jane Gilchrist's ongoing practice<br />
of making abstract sculptures<br />
based on plant/seed forms<br />
using cardboard. Gilchrist<br />
combines craft techniques such<br />
as paper-cutting, folding, paperengineering,<br />
papier Mache, and<br />
pattern-making, with nontraditional<br />
materials, creating<br />
works are unusual, accessible<br />
and thought-provoking.<br />

<strong>Exuberance</strong><br />
Exuberant: 1. Lively, high-spirited.<br />
2. (of a plant) prolific; growing<br />
copiously. 3. (of feelings etc)<br />
abounding, lavish, effusive. (The<br />
Australian concise Oxford<br />
Dictionary.)<br />
The original concept of this<br />
exhibition, <strong>Exuberance</strong>, was to<br />
explore exuberance through<br />
colour and how colour is<br />
expressed in contemporary<br />
hand-stitched artworks. This<br />
exhibition brings together a<br />
group of 20 Australian<br />
embroiderers/stitchers chosen<br />
for their exuberant use of hand<br />
stitch. The goal was to work<br />
independently from a common<br />
springboard for highly<br />
individualist artwork.<br />
There were several prompts by<br />
the curators Sharon Peoples<br />
and Carol Cooke, from which<br />
the artists could begin their long<br />
stitching projects. These<br />
included colour as an<br />
expression of exuberance,<br />
exuberant growth of plants and<br />
exuberance as a psychological<br />
state or emotion.<br />
Many artists took up readings<br />
based on Rachel Carson’s Silent<br />
Spring, one of the first influential<br />
books to galvanise global<br />
environmental movements.<br />
This is evidenced in many<br />
works by the exhibiting artists<br />
and the way in which they<br />
carefully balanced the<br />
potentially negative with<br />
emotional exuberance.<br />
Why hand stitching?<br />
During the Covid Lockdowns<br />
there was a world-wide<br />
upsurge in hand crafts made at<br />
home. Many online courses<br />
sprang up with interest in hand<br />
made textiles, and in particular<br />
hand embroidery. Capturing<br />
what was happening in Australia<br />
at the time interested the<br />
curators, Carol Cooke and<br />
Sharon Peoples.<br />
The artists were presented with<br />
a number of formal colour<br />
exercises, based on the colour<br />
wheel. Some artists rejected this<br />
notion, yet their reasons were<br />
very interesting, and this aspect<br />
is explored further in the book,<br />
<strong>Exuberance</strong>; A Stitcher’s<br />
Perspective.<br />
This book gives a deep<br />
understanding of artists’<br />
processes as they worked<br />
towards producing final<br />
exhibition pieces.<br />
