September 10, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kingaroy Regional Art Gallery’s latest exhibition has provided an unusual challenge for the 18 artists whose works make it up.<\/p>\n

At last Thursday’s night’s official opening of “Shaking The Cage”, several of the artists whose works are on show spoke about how they’d tackled the exhibition’s theme.<\/p>\n

Art being art, it was little surprise to discover each had taken a different approach.<\/p>\n

Well-known print maker Carmel Nott told the opening night crowd her works were focussed on the Bunya Mountains rainforest and its thoughtful management against risks such as bushfires and logging.<\/p>\n

They were designed to provoke people into considering the forest as an ancient, living ecosystem where things have grown and died in a cycle that stretches as far back as the dinosaurs.<\/p>\n

Wooroolin artist Diana Bolton said the flooding of the Wooroolin Wetlands in 2013 – which had inundated her family’s vineyard and gardens – had definitely shaken her own cage and inspired her works in the show.<\/p>\n

Artist Dot Rowland said she had the most fun making marks that shake a viewer’s cage, showing a brush she’d created to paint one of her pieces.<\/p>\n

And potter Fay Stumm said she’d when she’d turned to Google to find a definition for shaking the cage, “saving the environment” was one of the answers it turned up, and this had inspired one of her pottery pieces.<\/p>\n

All the artists in the new exhibition are members of the Jumping Ant Arts group.<\/p>\n

Visitors will be able to enjoy the eclectic collection of works that includes acrylics and watercolours; ink, pastel, charcoal and collage pieces; ceramic and textile works; and items by printmakers, photographers and sculptors until early October.<\/p>\n

The spread of works made mounting the exhibition a more difficult task than usual, and it was hung by photographer Max Walters.<\/p>\n

Outgoing Kingaroy Arts Team president Jenny Gemmell said Max had done the job extremely well.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Shaking the Cage will remain on display at the Kingaroy Regional Art Gallery in Haly Street, Kingaroy from 10:00am to 4:00pm Mondays to Fridays and 10:00am to 2:00pm weekends and public holidays until October 11. Admission to view it is free.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
