Horizontal Geometries Workshop

Horizontal Geometries Workshop

Come and explore, experiment, imagine, construct and inhabit shared cities.

Due to unexpected delays related to redevelopment works at the Gallery we have had to cancel the Horizontal Geometries workshop sessions. Refunds will be issued. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and hope to welcome you back to the Gallery following our relaunch later this year.

Families are invited to join Artist Educator Lilly Blue for a playful all-ages workshop and first glimpse into the next iteration of Horizontal Geometries, a participatory project created in collaboration with WA artist Eveline Kotai.

This open-ended workshop invites a slow play experience and provides a supported opportunity for families to create and connect through the arts.

Participants will be invited back to the gallery later in the year for a special viewing of the project and an opportunity to meet artist Eveline Kotai.

About the artist

While Eveline has used a variety of media during the course of her 40-year art practice, over the past 16 years she has concentrated on the theme of material dissolution and regeneration. Recent exhibitions Infinite Threads (2012), Subdivision (2014) and Writing on Air (2015) all draw their titles from the artist’s symbolic and material interpretation of the nature of change.

Eveline’s unique technique of cutting up and reworking paintings into new compositions echoes a world in constant transition. Not only do her methods provide a constant source for new beginnings, but the action of cutting and stitching canvasses have become an important meditative practice that is reflected in her final pieces. Works that may previously have been representational are sequentially dismantled so that the remodelled ‘palette’ becomes the impetus for new directions.

Inherent in the synergies that unfurl are further iterations of nature itself. The complex combinations of tone, colour and surface merge into harmonies that are reminiscent of life’s underlying cycles - sensed but not easily recognised. Eveline's work offers a space for contemplation that distills her ongoing inquiry into the correlations between art, life and nature.
