WINNER TEXTILES ADULT "Windows to the Ship of Fools" by Livonne Larkins
This headdress and costume describes the life of a friend and local artist. It tells of her coming from England and the life she has built for herself here in Australia. She has had many careers in her life, but all artistic in some way. This work is inspired by the body of work she has made throughout her life. The ship of fools denotes the journey we make in life, carrying our baggage with us throughout. Homes often represent ourselves and this piece describes the transformation from teacher to florist to artist, all the while, continuing on the journey of life over sometimes rough waters.
HIGHLY COMMENDED "Finding Balance" by Adelaide Worcester
As part of my recovery, I join others in a trauma-sensitive yoga session each week. Here I am offering myself a lunging, stretching shape. I notice my body is breathing. There is no right or wrong way to practise yoga in MY body today. This work represents finding the balance between living in the past and being grounded in the present moment. I am working to honour my past experiences. But finding peace in the present moment – through yoga or art-making – is as exquisite as meeting a beautiful bird in the wild.
