Spring/Autumn show

Ume plum Blossoming

It’s the spring in Kansai, Japan and the Ume Plum trees are starting to blossom after a very cold and at times snowy winter. In Australia the hot summer recedes to the mild autumn, so please enjoy this next digital exhibition in the changing of the seasons

Thank you

Saint Patricks Day

While her praxis is less than a decade old, her passion for design, for colour and especially for jewellery design has been a lifelong one. Each necklace Diana makes is a unique creation inspired by the colours and forms of the beads and objects she collects.

Digital exhibition in a box

This art and design box was inspired by the smallish exhibition visited at the Toyama Prefectural Museum of Art and Design about the art critic Takiguchi Shuzo. The array of artworks and artifacts at the aforementioned exhibit invited curiosity and, in some ways, breathed life into exhibiting again in smallish spaces to construct interesting shows.

Now on show at 2 Dogs Art Space are artworks from Western Australian and Japanese artists, plus objects that I have found in 2nd-hand stores in and around the Akashi/Kobe areas of Japan, that hopefully makes one think about the design, textures, aesthetic forms and color that interact with daily life

The Western Australian artists are Michael Doherty, Diokno Pasilan, Louis Moncrieff, Pippa Tandy, John Cullinane, Cynthia Ellis,  Peter Davidson, EMelissa Nolan McDougall, Lynne Norton Decd and Chelle Bourne. 

Japanese Artist Sadaharu Horio Dced, objects currently unknown to be researched thank you

‘The Blue Tree’ in regional WA dead trees are sometimes painted blue to acknowledge the tragedy of youth suicide. Forests for me are meditative spaces where I find solace.
