Opening- Kent Wilson: ‘Would’
Come check out the opening of Would by Kent Wilson at Anna Pappas Gallery tongiht Wednesday 3 October from 6pm.
'Kent Wilson’s new solo exhibition at Anna Pappas Gallery explores our connection to nature through the materiality of wood and its origin in plant growth. Wilson’s series of wooden skulls and intricate abstract drawings are extrapolations and interpretations of natural patterns, processes and behaviours. The skulls implicate human life in the materiality of the plywood, the contour lines reflecting the growth rings of seasonal time. His considered use of this manufactured natural product blurs the fragile distinction between the natural and the cultural.'

4 shows to see this Weekend
So I have been a little slack with blogging (bad cold + working on my masters). This will hopefully make up for it. I have been going to quite a few shows and these are my favourites…
1. Frames of Reference: 16th June – 8th July 2012
Langford 120 is a beautiful gallery and Frames of Reference is a beautifully curated show by Dr. Wilma Tabacco. The works in the show are vibrant and have collector appeal, reasonably priced works that I would love to own. (photo via Langford 120 webpage)

2. Outline: 8th June – 29th June 2012 (I know last day is Friday but this is a good show)
Carly Grace created this beautiful exhibition, playing with the illusion of space by drawing on the windows of the Platform. These photos don't do this show justice so you should see this in person.
