Domesticated <\/em><\/strong>is the new member\u2019s exhibition at Blue Knob Hall Gallery with Wood & Metal<\/em> by Jennifer Unwin in The Solo Space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing says \u2018domesticated\u2019 like \u2018tea for two\u2019 and a few chickens in the back yard. \u2018Tea for Two\u2019 by Cathryn Binstead is two ceramic teapots that were made as part of an assignment when completing a ceramic certificate at Randwick Tafe in the early 90’s and Amanda Doran\u2019s installation piece \u2018I Just Want my Children to be Happy\u2019 is a reflection of how much we want to take care of those around us, be they domesticated or wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The origins of the word \u2018domesticate\u2019 comes from Latin domesticus<\/em> \u2018belonging to the house\u2019. It can relate to a household<\/a> or family, domestic chores, or anything that is taken from a wild or natural state to live in close association with, and to the benefit of humans. It can cover everything from human\/animal domesticity, to plants that have been adapted over time by selective breeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a huge range for interpretation (including the \u2018undomesticated\u2019) and the artists exhibiting have had fun with this theme, interpreting it in whatever medium or form they wished. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wood & Metal<\/em><\/strong> by Jennifer Unwin is in The Solo Space and will run concurrently with the member\u2019s exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jennifer Unwin is an emerging visual artist and printmaker living in the beautiful Tweed Valley near the art deco town of Murwillumbah NSW. She’s currently exploring the ways wood and metal have influenced lifestyles down through the ages in a contemporary sense and the many ways they influence the mark making process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her works in both photomedia and printmaking have been collected locally and interstate from several recent exhibitions in Ballina, Nimbin and around the Northern Rivers region. Jennifer has also recently collaborated as a photographer in an online book (yet to be released) highlighting the project to save Bungabbee forest near Nimbin and has also been accepted to exhibit in the upcoming Nimbin Art Fair 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both exhibitions will be open from Thurs 8th April and run until Sat 29 May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
