Touch Tours @ Gaffa
Thank you to everyone who popped into Gaffa today to see the show, join the intimate Touch Tour or discuss the exhibition, artists and materials. Its been a lovely day with so much positive energy and feedback!
White Heat opening night @ Gaffa
A huge thanks to everyone who supported us and came down to Gaffa on Thursday night!
I was a bit overwhelmed by the opening and the fantastic turn out - great to see you all.
Graeme Bannerman's work on the touch table was a BIG hit! Well done Graeme - you may have produced some of the work in the eleventh hour but it was worth it!
Touch Table was a hit with adults and children alike!
Bliss & Sasha have a giggle over Graeme's work In & Out and Degustation
A BIG thanks to Jane & Matina for the amazing flowers - I felt very spoilt! Now my house has flowers in every room...lovely.
Cheers for taking some pics on opening night Matina! Your a treasure.

Artist of the month - Manon van Kouswijk
Perles d'Artiste
August artist of the month is Manon van Kouswijk, hailing from the Netherlands and now based in Melbourne, Victoria. Van Kouswijk is represented by Gallery Funaki in Melbourne - and we thank the team at Funaki for sharing her talents!

"Perles d'Artiste" Series of different necklaces in white, black and white, colour porcelain, pigment, ceramic pencil. 2009 Photography: Uta Eisenreich
In Manon's own words....
I like to think that it's possible to reinvent jewellery, despite the fact that its archetypal forms and motifs haven't fundamentally changed throughout its long history. I view these archetypes as templates that I use for my translations of the jewellery types I work from (for example the beaded necklace). Through the materiality and making processes that different materials offer I generate new interpretations of generic forms. They reveal some of the value and meaning that belies the appearance of ordinary jewellery pieces.
