EXHIBITION CATALOGUE FROM 'SKY SEA LAND LINES EXHIBITION'
It will be a rare pleasure and a unique experience for the public to see art work where the medium of paper extends beyond its character as a substrate to being an essential ingredient in the portrayal of the concept of lines in our environment. The ‘Sky, Sea, Land Lines’ exhibition will present an eclectic array of works where paper and/or book is paramount for this group of artists.
Members of the Papermakers and Artists Qld will fill the Richard Randall Studio, Mt. Coot-tha from the 23rd March – 27th March with their contemporary, creative and engaging work. These artists, while portraying their own distinctive journey on the exhibition’s title, are also experienced artisan in other skill areas, creating exceptional quality, handmade and hand fashioned work. In the Artisan Store you can expect to see cards, note books, unique miniature books and journals as well as paper and copper jewellery, basketry, eco dying and fibre art works that are guaranteed to have the 'wow' factor! The exhibition also features 2 “Walk and Talk” session daily at 11.00am and 2.00pm. where visitors will be able to talk to the artists about the works. When you have enjoyed the exhibition there is a second chance to see more works created in the Artisan Store. Many of the exhibitors have skills in other mediums, so as well as cards, note books, unique miniature books and journals expect to see jewellery, baskets and works in the fibre arts. The best place to select your individually designed art piece for any gift giving occasion.

Berbagi
Sunshine Coast University Gallery
3 February to 3 March 2012
Curator - Di Tait
‘Berbagi’ is the Balinese word for ‘share’, which sums up the spirit behind this exhibition.
In June 2010 ten members of Papermakers of Queensland travelled to Ubud to meet up with a member of their group who lives in Bali. Lynne Fellowes has a long history of association with Papermakers of Queensland having been Secretary for some years before she and her husband moved to make their home in Indonesia. Lynne welcomed ten of her fellow members of POQ to her new studio in Bali, to share with her the culture of her new home and then to meet and be inspired by the Balinese artists and papermakers she has met there in the past few years.
It sometimes takes travelling out of one’s normality to inspire and bring a different perspective to the work of artists. Whilst in Darwin and Bali the POQ travellers were inspired by Balinese culture and environment, visits to artist’s studios, and workshops with local artists. It is the response to this interchange of ideas, techniques, cultures, and the sharing of the common bonds, particularly the bonds between artists, that formed the substance of this exhibition.
The exhibition featured the work of the ten members of POQ who travelled from Australia to Bali, their hostess and 2 inspired local artists who have since joined the ranks of POQ's membership. All of the works were primarily paper based and included two and three dimensional pieces, large and small works, collaborations, and journals, and images from the trip.
The POQ artists who participated were: Helga Hill, Glenda Hennig, Jill de Hayr, Ngaire Macleod, Jill Brose, Tricia Smout, Joolie Gibb, Joanna Faber, Judy Barrass, Di Tait, ynne Fellowes and 2 international artists from Bali - Narause Kiyoshi and Joseph Borde.
