SUMMARY:Portal
DESCRIPTION:By Fionna Madigan\, Lisa McPherson\, Jenny Divers\n\n\n\nYou are warmly invited to enter a portal of remembrance and presence. 7th-22nd February\, Thursday-Sunday\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPainter Fionna Madigan\, and ceramicists Lisa McPherson and Jenny Divers\, invite you through a portal into a soulful and celebratory realm in which to explore space\, psyche\, touch and medicine. \n\n\n\nFionna is an award-winning exhibiting artist whose work straddles a fertile zone between realism and abstraction. Her immersive works are lush and optically playful\, inspired by the forms and flora of the Victorian Goldfields. \n\n\n\nLisa McPherson is a ceramist and a practitioner of East Asian Medicine. Her work involves moving between bodies; human bodies and bodies of clay. These sensitive\, hand-built forms explore notions of touch\, healing and memory. \n\n\n\nJenny Divers’ ceramic practice is inspired by natural and constructed landscapes through which she has lived\, worked and travelled. These contemplative forms investigate place and invite tactile engagement. \n\n\n\nOpening Sunday 8 February\, 4pm to 6pm \n\n\n\nOpening Hours Sat 7 February\, 10-4pmSunday Feb 8 – 10am – 6pm (Opening Reception 4pm – 6pm)Thursday Feb 12 – 10am – 4pmFriday Feb 13 – 10am – 4pmSaturday Feb 14 – 10am – 4pmSunday Feb 15 – 10am – 4pmThursday Feb 19 – 10am – 4pmFriday Feb 20 – 10am – 4pmSaturday Feb 21 – 10am – 4pmSunday Feb 22 – 10am – 4pm

SUMMARY:It's  a Kind of Wonder
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with Castlemaine Fringe\n\n\n\nWearable art exhibition\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCurated by Jody Galvin\, Azzy Jay\, Kya Moore\, Ellen Doyle\, Madeleine Somers\, Martin John Lee\, Andi Herman\, Melissa Clark\, Michelle Newton and Kaz McMullan \n\n\n\nThe Castlemaine Fringe Festival brings its signature creativity to the State Festival with It’s a Kind of Wonder – a wearable art exhibition that transforms fashion into fantasy. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition showcases handmade works that are bold\, playful and unapologetically individual. Each piece redefines what it means to wear art – from sculptural headpieces to textile experiments that blure the line between costume and concept. The result is an explosion of colour\, craft and character\, true to Castlemaine’s reputation as a creative melting pot. It’s a Kind of Wonder is an invitation to revel in the weird and wonderful – to see the human body not just as a canvas\, but as a living artwork. \n\n\n\nOpening Hours Friday 20 March – 11am to 4pmSaturday 21 March – 11am to 4pmSunday 22 March – 11am to 4pmFriday 27 March – 11am to 4pmSaturday 28 March – 11am to 4pm

SUMMARY:Meanwhile\, in Castlemaine
DESCRIPTION:By Julie Lovett\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOpening:Saturday 18 April\, 2pm-5pm\n\n\n\nThe work presented at Lot 19 emerges from the unstable space of the artist residency — a site that promises reflection and transformation but often delivers something far less resolved. Working across painting and film\, I treat the act of making as both subject and material\, allowing the work to turn back on itself. \n\n\n\nI place myself within the work as a semi-fictional\, autobiographical character — performing the role of the artist somewhere between sincerity and parody. The work leans into self- portraiture\, self-consciousness and the pressure to produce meaning in unfamiliar surroundings. \n\n\n\nThe Australian landscape operates as a constant backdrop — echoing my earlier engagement with the Irish landscape — but here it becomes a stage set as much as a site\, exposing the constructed nature of the work. \n\n\n\nUsing banal narratives\, humour and self-interrogation\, the exhibition resists resolution\, lingering instead in something unresolved\, self-aware and slightly uncomfortable. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJulie Lovett is an artist from County Kerry\, Ireland\, working across painting\, performance and durational video. Her practice draws on the landscape\, labour and lived experience of her rural upbringing. Working from this context has required her to generate her own opportunities\, shaping a strong sense of independence and authorship. \n\n\n\nHer work explores the tension between artistic professionalism\, vulnerability and belonging. She holds a BA from LSAD and an MFA from the University of Ulster\, and has exhibited nationally and internationally. \n\n\n\nExhibition dates:Friday-Sunday\, 18 April to 2 May
