Home is where the heART is
An exhibition of decorative domesticity
24 October - 11 November 2008
Sometimes the items that decorate our homes, the embellishment around various utilitarian items, even the things that add colour and individuality to our every day clothes are not usually thought of as ‘art' but most homes have many things that are handcrafted or beautifully embellished whether functional or decorative.
This exhibition showcased those things that enrich our lives everyday.

Contemporary Art Naive group
Dancing with Chickens
This well-known group of local naïve painters, including Pam Barrass, Linden Dean, Rosemary Hepworth, Julie Hollingsworth, Yvonne Maddern, Lyndel Mahlook, Daphne Mihan and Jo Ryan have been presenting their work at the EGAG for a number of years.
The works are bold and colourful. They can have a strong narrative that often illustrates the absurd or whimsical in everyday situations and the painters’ sense of design creates confident works that are full of energy.

Kate Shone
Insectoria
An installation based on the Victorian obsession for collecting and their fascination with science and nature.
Sorted, boxed and mounted ‘insects’ made from discarded metals and presented with a great sense of humour. This absurd collection will arouse curiosity and satiate the need to place things in boxes as well as the compulsion to label things.

Look
Look is an exhibition of photographs that came out of a five-week Monash University residency in Prato, Italy and extended travel to Switzerland and Scotland.
As with memory, what we see is an individual selective process and this exhibition is an idiosyncratic take on being a tourist, an outsider, in an environment that is not your own.
Perhaps we see more in the ‘special’ and the ‘ordinary’ when we step outside our usual routine.

Based on Paper
East Gallery
An exhibition of works on paper or works that use paper as the major element of construction.
22 August – 2 September
Robert Logie
Distances
West Gallery
Those who have seen Robert Logie’s work will remember the exuberance of his brush strokes and his sheer enjoyment in the physical application of the paint. The strength of the primary colours used and the thickness of the paint imbue the works with raw emotion.
“Distances” is an attempt to portray a very few of the types of relationships, or not, (distances) between mainly elderly, traditional farming couples in the context of wild dog attacks.
It is too complex a topic for a small exhibition but provides endless possibilities and many hours of contemplation. So much depends on the reaction, or not, of each individual to the other, as well as individually toward the environment in which they find themselves.
