The VMG Art Series comprises a rotating, curated exhibition program, the objective of which is to provide a unique opportunity for unrepresented (Victoria) visual artists to showcase their work within an innovative space and purpose-designed environment as well as presenting their art practice to a new audience.
Commencing in January 2021, and in partnership with Catherine Asquith, as art advisor for the Series, the Venetian Media Group’s (VMG) commitment to the Australian visual arts has been long-standing; this Series, extends support to the sector.
untitled (drawing) 2022
Every morning I draw—on my face. Part of me wants to make it obvious that everyone draws; whether you draw a map for a friend, put on your eyeliner, try to demonstrate to a plumber the position of your water meter, trace your lover’s lips… Part of me wants to draw attention to the notion of ‘presentation’ to the world, and the vagueries of enhancements, and aging, and expectations. On all accounts the work is very public yet very personal.
‘childhood memories’ selected.
The launch of the Deakin University Contemporary Small Sculpture Award and announcement of the winner is scheduled for 6.00 pm, Monday 13 September. The exhibition of finalists will then continue at the Deakin University Art Gallery until 22 October.

Honestly 2020 was a tough tough year, its effect still reverberates.
This little portrait has come out of this......sometimes there was a sense of disappearance, being covered over, not moving, anxiety, sadness, kindness ....
I am so very uplifted to learn that it has been selected as a finalist

The 56 finalist artist sculptures – each measuring up to 80cm in any dimension – were selected from a record 844 entries by a judging panel comprised of Director Curatorial and Digital, Museum of Contemporary Art Australia Dr Lara Strongman, Art Historian/Curator and Industrial Archaeologist Joanna Capon OAM and celebrated artist and fashion designer Jenny Kee AO.
Woollahra Mayor, Councillor Susan Wynne said: “We are thrilled to have received a record number of entries this year as we mark the 20th edition of this celebrated prize. To see such an enthusiastic response to the Prize, during such a difficult year only strengthens our commitment to cultural development and reinforces the decision we have made to open our first art gallery next year – Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf. The quality and diversity of the 2020 Finalist works are outstanding, and we cannot wait to welcome visitors into the new gallery with an exhibition that has something for everyone.”
My statement: “I use my art practice to explore social and psychological subjects. As the Mother of an only child I ponder the notion of ‘one’ and while seeing the pillow of my Mother used daily in her elderly state I cannot ignore the notion of comfort, propping up, rest and anxiety. This work ‘only child’ memorialises and immortalises the single, private, personal pillow. Carved from a block of marble, the soft and solitary state of a used pillow creates a human landscape of comfort and disturbance.”

In the words of Virginia Woolf, ”the revelation never came. Instead, there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark”.

'Layers of Time' is a collection of the latest artworks created in lockdown accompanied by reflections on how the pandemic has affected these artists' notion of time.

Wonderful group show. Catalogue at westernartspace.com.au
