What's happening at the Tatiara Libraries

intrinsic nature of self-reflection, exploring the act of making as a journey of internal struggles and letting go. Playfulness and introspection dance hand in hand, where the boundaries of textile art are stretched, unraveled, and woven anew, offering viewers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of contemporary artistic expression. Traditional techniques also seamlessly intertwine with innovation. Seated beside the familiar textiles are a myriad of unconventional companions - rabbit skin, paper-pulp, concrete, flax, old woollen blankets, stringy-bark, spider egg cases, recycled plastics, foraged vines, recycled electrical copper wire, charcoal, reclaimed ceramics, fluorite, amethyst, business tie linings, doilies, and off-cuts of previous artworks.

Art you can touch!

Two of the National Gallery of Australia's Art Cases will be landing in Bordertown from 17 June - 12 July. These cases travel to schools, libraries and community centres, galleries and aged care facilities throughout Australia, where works can be discovered by adults and children. A key feature of the Art Cases program is that the works can be handled - art you can touch! We will be receiving two cases Form and Function and Bodies which are both available for your group or meeting to look and touch. If you would like to explore the National Gallery of Australia Art Cases, please call the Walkway Gallery on 08 8752 1044.
