Thanks to all those who came and took a close look at 'A Closer Look' over the past 6 days. It was a really fun exhibition. We'll be back again at a similar time next year BUT if anyone wants to check out Lyn Kabanoff's paintings or textiles or Andy Kabanoff's photography you can do so by appointment at their house at North Avoca. They're available more often than not. Just send a note.

Natural Forms
Collaborative exhibition of Soft Textile Sculptures by Karen Williams and Semi-abstract Painting by Carolyn Griffiths

2017 -March 22nd - 2nd April - Art Studio Gallery - 391 Mann St., Gosford NSW
NATURAL FORMS is an exhibition exploring art that evokes our connection to the physical world on the Central Coast. Not as mere documentation, but an investigation into the spirit of nature, scratching below the surface to expose its tactile being. After contemplating the contours and complex intersections of vegetation, rocks, the sea, seeds, headlands, vistas or undergrowth large and small, both artists have created forms resulting in soft sculptures, paintings and digital works.
Stimuli that motivated some works recalled the havoc left by the mini-cyclone that hit the Central Coast in 2015, as our surroundings were strewn with twisted branches from large fallen trees, exposed bare roots, seeds and their casings scattered & blown. Rivers, roads, lakes and backyards became swollen and our world was changed. We also drew inspiration from the shapes, curves, layers and angles of growing things, their beauty and essence, their tactile qualities.
