Anne Ryan The Miranda Souvenir 2020 fabric & thread, framed 84cm x 44cm
Anne Ryan’s works are gentle and intricate. These works fit without moving any switches.
Peter Daverington Acacia Tree, 2021 Oil and gold leaf on canvas 122x91cm
This work was proposed for David’s office. There are two of them which would work nicely in both boardrooms as an alternative placement if you like this work. They are beautiful works, however one switch would need to be moved from this boardroom and two switches from the other boardroom.
Justin Andrews Endless Infinite Diffusion Network Acrylic on canvas over plywood panel 121.5 x 84.5cm
These works have been proposed for several opportunities.
Jennifer Goodman Cascade, 2021 Oil on linen, stretched linen in a lined timber shadow frame 200 x 120cm
This work has also been previously proposed as it works well in the office, both tonally and with its warmth.
James Clayden, Untitled, 2020, Oil on canvas 97 x 123cm
James is a mid-career artist. This work fits in the space without moving any switches.
Gerwyn Davies The Mint, 2021, Archival inkjet print, 150 x 100cm
This work was proposed for the small entry wall. There is another great work proposed for the small boardroom.
Gerwyn Davies, Disappearing Act 2, 120cm x 80cm
This is a new work. It is a lenticular print. Quite bold and lenticular prints are really interesting in their movement.
An n R yan Working predominately with textiles and simple cotton thread, guest artist Ann Ryan creates collages that interpret and present both the fashion world and popular culture with an affectionate irony. Created from the artist’s own extensive collection of fabric remnants, Ryan’s images explore notions of memory, both personal and cultural, and incorporate visual elements from a diverse range of global style movements including 1960s fashion templates, traditional Japanese hand stitching techniques and even the ubiquitous Australian tourist tea towel. Wonderfully feminine and whimsical the resulting juxtapositions of pattern, form and colour playfully celebrate the aesthetics of both the humble and everyday as well as the luxurious outputs of high fashion. Ryan’s methodical process of collecting, selecting and stitching-together salvaged fragments from once loved garments, upholstery and pieces of antique haberdashery serves as a metaphor for notions of sustainability and gives a nod to the slow fashion and visible mending movements. Full of dream-like possibility Ryan’s vibrant and highly detailed images take the viewer on a truly joyful journey full of memorabilia and positivity. Ann Ryan is a Melbourne based emerging artist with a background in retail fashion, having been a head buyer for Georges Department Store in the 1980s. More recently Ann has dedicated herself to developing a practice that unifies her interest in fashion and sustainability, completing a Diploma of Visual Art from Victoria University in 2011. She has exhibited in a number of solo and group exhibitions since graduating. This will be her first solo within a commercial gallery context.
