We acknowledge the Ngunnawal People, the traditional custodians of the land on which we work, create, and grow. We pay our respects to the elders past, present, and emerging, for they hold the memories, the traditions, and the culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across the nation.

Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Rosalie Rose - Snakes & Flowers

10th-23rd October - Snakes and Flowers is a textile exhibition honouring cloth and slow-stitch: simplicity and patience – both of which rebel against the use of unsustainable fibres and the fast pace at which our society appears to function. Some pieces are embellished with shells and botanically dyed fabrics. Harnessing natures offerings furthers the exhibitions endeavor to reunite the viewer with their relationship to earth. Through the conjuring of something ancient, Snakes and Flowers offers a collection of simple yet intricate pieces that intend to call in feelings of both reverence and delight.
Rosalie Rose is a textile artist currently living in Canberra, creating on Ngunnawal and Ngambri land.
