The Joy of Flight Exhibition

PPA group exhibition

Little Dream Collectors
Primrose Paper Arts held the opening of our current Mezzanine exhibition ‘Joy Flight’ on Saturday afternoon 12 March at Primrose Park.
It was a beautiful day, warm and sunny and was very well attended by the members, families and friends, who were excited to be invited to this event as so many art openings have been cancelled in the last few years.

Most attendees had never been to the site and were all very impressed by, not only the studio, but by the beautiful surrounding park. They loved the variety of work displayed in our exhibition and said how joyous, fun and uplifting it was.

We felt the opening was a perfect opportunity of engaging with our local community to give more awareness of the fantastic facilities available at the studio.

The exhibition will be on display in our Mezzanine space until the end of March so come on down and have a look.  The studio is open to our Paper Arts group on Mondays and Thursdays after 10 am.

Group Exhibition “Rusted On”

Online Group Exhibition is on NOW!

Rusted on gallery 5
Group Exhibition, “RUSTED ON” looks really nice! it is a showcase of Primrose Paper Arts Inc. members’ new work. The online exhibition is on now and my work is included in Gallery 5.
“Wabi-Sabi Polyhedron Lampshade”: Rust can be translated into the Japanese word ‘Sabi’. The same pronunciation Sabi, from Wabi-Sabi, means Japan’s unique concept of beauty. Nothing lasts forever. I created a lampshade with the pages from an old torn book written by Charles Dickens.
The exhibition was created by Claire Brach.

Lost Bird Found Project in November

lost bird project 2

I created some hand-made birds for the Lost Bird Found Project which is to raise awareness and spark conversations about mental health.
Would you like to participate in the program with me? Let’s create your own birds and hide them for others to find and keep. It will be better with more participants! Birds are a symbol of freedom, hope and wisdom. For more info, please check North Sydney Council’s website.

I made a video with my bird. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb_ecAJykZc
