HANDS ON: CRAFT IN CONTEMPORARY ART
4 December 2010 – 29 January 2011
Hands On is an exhibition of works by contemporary artists who use hand
crafts as tools of expression in their practice. The show incorporates a
rich variety of materials, including recycled plastics, yachting ropes, yarn,
human hair, leather, recycled fabrics and natural grasses. From knitting
and leather craft to tapestry and weaving, an array of unlikely or even
denigrated methods are used with great skill, and often wit, to produce
works of depth, meaning and cultural relevance.
Organised by Hazelhurst Regional Gallery & Arts Centre. Curated by Cash Brown.
