27 July - 21 August
This group exhibition displays the talents of the Killarney Basket makers, Minda Baxter, Cherree Densley, Isobel Esmore, Sylvia Harbour, Dianna Heeps and Joanne Russell. The women all hail from Killarney and surrounding towns Port Fairy, Koroit, Casterton, with one contributor, formerly of Penshurst, posting her work from far away desert country in Queensland after relocating there in 2021.
“We create ornamental and functional pieces out of harvested, acquired or scavenged materials. We come together to support and encourage each other in basket making and continue to develop our own unique styles. The exhibition title ‘No Rules’ reflects the uniqueness of our work. We all enjoy creating things that are a little unusual, with lots of experimentation out of a strong foundation of traditional basketry skills. There is so much beauty to be found in our own local environment and you will be amazed how common materials become transformed by imagination and ingenuity.”
