| "Colour and Form"
As artists and artisans these two crucial elements can be one of the most challenging aspects of making art. As artists we interpret what is before our eyes or in our imagination and bring that reality into a variety of forms.
These artworks have risen to the expectations of the theme and the walls are imbued with colour, sculpture and a variety of artworks that represent the human body, animals and landscapes.
Bev Leggett-Simmons work incorporates a different view of landscape with vibrant colours and handmade/domestic objects placed in the foreground that also has a message of inclusion.
Whether it is a painting, sculptural piece, photography, or fibre; colour/form/ light and shade give shape to how the viewer looks, sees and interprets an artwork.
The Solo Space
Bob’s Wood Works - Crofton Road Woodworks is the summary of Craftsman Robert Bishell's Life.
His timbers and materials are all recycled and have a history all of their own, often incorporating chapters of Bob's life living with the Gumatj People of East Arnhem Land and working in Gove N.T. while travelling extensively throughout Australia.
During the fifteen years he spent in the Top End honing his craft, he had the privilege of passing on most of his work to not-for-profit fund raising events and auctions; the proceeds going towards community projects, enhancing school facilities and supporting youth in the work force. His skills and imagination have allowed him to pursue his artistic ideals using repurposed and ecologically sustainable timbers to produce unique furniture and functional items for the home. Eventually relocating to Nimbin in 2015 he has continued his creative path, and regularly exhibits pieces at Blue Knob Hall Gallery and locally.
The Blue Knob Hall Gallery & Café are open Thurs, Fri, Sun from 10am -3pm, and Sat 8.30am – 3pm when the Blue Knob Community Market is on.
