Tamika Grant-Iramu is currently exhibiting her artwork 'Fragments of Ta Prohm: restoration' (2020) on the Sydney Contemporary Presents 2020 platform. ⁠

⁠
'Fragments of Ta Prohm: restoration (2020) investigates the shapes and movements created by the contrasting structures and natural elements in the temples of Angkor Wat, Cambodia. I am fascinated by the minute details of the bricks where the erosion from the environment has allowed new patterns and details to form. The engraving of stories from the Cambodian people within these temples is confluent with the patterns made from natural erosion. Nature itself has woven a new story that is unique to the Ta Prohm temples.'⁠

Onespace is pleased to present SOOKii by Helen Mil

Onespace is pleased to present SOOKii by Helen Miller which celebrates 20 years of her fashion label. This exhibition showcases soft sculptures, including textile-rich theatrical masks and costumes, limited edition digital prints. It also includes a collection of signature ready-to-wear silk dresses from the SOOKii archive. Garments as well as theatrical pieces created using recycled textiles will hang from the ceilings and grace the walls of the space.⁠
⁠
Miller’s approach to slow fashion and sustainability is influenced by her Japanese mother’s post war and immigrant experience. The threads of scarcity and loss are woven into each creation and evidenced in the exhibition’s supporting dioramas depicting scenes of Helen’s garment making process. Each object is interwoven with themes of cultural identity, self preservation and acceptance.⁠
⁠
In writing for the catalogue essay, Vanessa Van Ooyen explains: "Helen Miller instinctively knows the power of fabric, equally embracing its functional and symbolic properties. For the past 20 years, she has repurposed exquisite silk, shibori, brocade, plaid and indigo linen through her clothing label SOOKii. Miller’s atelier is more than a ‘dress shop’; in embracing the past life of fabric, acknowledging time and loss, stitching together and mending, altering and erasing, her beautifully crafted creations have a form and function beyond merely ‘dressing’ people."⁠
⁠
Van Ooyen continues: "SOOKii seeps into the life of those who walk beyond the pink mid-century façade in Highgate Hill, and it has become part of the fabric of the local community—a place of celebration, comfort, consolation and encouragement. In another time and place, SOOKii would have been a kind of village apothecary, tending to the needs of both mind and body."⁠

We would like to extend a big congratulations to L

We would like to extend a big congratulations to LeAnne Vincent for winning 'The Flying Arts ‘Art for Life’ Award' and the 'Spotlight Award' through the Queensland Regional Art Awards. ⁠
⁠
We are very excited to be involved in the prize by being sponsors of the Spotlight Award alongside Art Words. In an unusual twist, instead of cash this award offers an essay of 1,000 words (valued at $1,000) from writer Louise Martin-Chew, to be written about the work of LeAnne. ⁠
⁠
LeAnne Vincent is a photo-based visual artist who creates conceptual art images that investigate human behaviour using themes of natural and urban environments and shared memories. Originally from the Mid North Coast of New South Wales she has resided in Queensland for over 20 years and practices art in her Ipswich home studio and Queenslander cottage.⁠
Her art practice is predominately based in digital capture and the exploration of alternative processes including cyanotype photograms. Her art is often a blend of organic and engineered objects photographed in still life arrangements or overlayed images of natural and urban environments. As her practice is process driven, walking, exploring, observing, and collecting objects are vital to informing her work.⁠

Ceramicist Dan Elborne is currently showing his moving work 'Where They Burn Books' in Sydney Contemporary Presents 2020. ⁠
⁠
Make sure to visit sydneycontemporarypresents.com to view and/or purchase Dan's work (link via bio). ⁠
⁠
'Influenced by the 1933 Nazi book burnings, where over 25,000 volumes of text were deemed “un-German” and subsequently destroyed, ‘Where They Burn Books’ references the power, resilience and preciousness of knowledge, which is made increasingly apparent through the oppressive act of burning books.⁠
⁠
These porcelain objects are strengthened through the firing process; they stand as martyrs to the written word, and in a contemporary context, they celebrate society’s unprecedented access to text and information.⁠
⁠
Displayed among the grouping are dark forms that have been created from the compressed ashes of books which are no longer legible or beyond repair.⁠
⁠
The title acknowledges the writing of nineteenth-century German Jewish poet Heinrich Heine, whose play Almansor (1820–21) was burnt in 1933 Germany. Within his play, Heine wrote: “Where they burn books, they will also ultimately burn people.”⁠

Onespace Gallery is proud to announce our newest represented artist Nicola Scott.

Nicola Scott is an early career artist based in Brisbane, Australia who focuses primarily on the phenomena of visual perception through her painting practice. Scott has completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honours (2012) through the Queensland College of Art, Griffith University. She is currently undertaking a Bachelor of Psychological Science at the University of Queensland.

Informed by her studies in both Fine Arts and Psychology, Scott questions the embodied and psychological processes through which we see and make sense of our world. Exploiting paint’s unique capacity to blur, blend, and layer, Scott points to the similarly complex nature of our own visual interpretations. She has a particular interest in the neurobiological basis for how we interpret colour, light, movement, and process optical illusions.

We are excited to present, Ocular Drift, Nicola Scott’s first exhibition with us at Onespace.

"Scott’s Ocular Drift works employ the illusory qualities of paint in order to toy with the potential of colour, creating images that prompt contemplation on the nature of understanding.

The experience of looking at Scott’s work is that of optical conundrum. As we gaze through the layers of these paintings, trying to rationalise the depth of their images, visual riddles beg to be worked out. A tongue twister for the eye, they don’t give away their tricks readily.

Opaque and translucent floating shapes block and reveal one another, and are further fragmented by overlapping membranes, collectively forming a complex web of voids and solids."

— Lisa Bryan-Brown (Catalogue Essay Writer)

Onespace Gallery congratulates represented artists

Onespace Gallery congratulates represented artists, Sonja Carmichael and Elisa Jane Carmichael, on their inclusion in the Tarnanthi Open Hands exhibition, 2020 curated and presented by the Gallery of South Australia (AGSA). ‘Open Hands pays tribute to the work of senior artists who pass on vital cultural knowledge to younger generations as the future leaders of their Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Through the act of making, they channel deep connections to Country and culture as they relate knowledge and expertise, stories and experiences.’

Sonja and Elisa Jane’s stunning collaborative cyanotypes continue the exhibition’s ethos of ‘celebrating contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art’. Their work will feature at AGSA between 16 Oct 2020 – 31 Jan 2021.

Onespace would also like to extend a huge thank-you to the Art Gallery of South Australia, Tarnanthi’s Artistic Director Nici Cumpston and the AGSA team, as well as Tarnanthi’s principal partners BHP and the Government of South Australia.
