On Monday a friend and I met at QAG to have a coffee and a wander. We inevitably ended up at Goma, and on the third floor was an exhibition entitled Terrain..so good!
This exhibition is a celebration of media which comes directly from the earth and the artists' environments. There are baskets made from spinefex with insides smeared with rich red dirt; fibre dyes are made from flora collected; everything resonates with a sense of site and place.
There is a meditative quality and a sense of rhythm to the objects on display. Stitch after stitch; knot after knot... the works evolve into wondrous artifacts which still echo the places of origin.
Go see!
