Beard and Influence

The folklore associated with bushrangers has captured the imaginations of Australians since the 1790s, and is the inspiration behind the Beard and Influence project.
Beard and Influence presents printmaker Clayton Tremlett’s contemporary approach to the compelling stories of some of Australia’s most notorious bushrangers explored through self-portraiture.
The exhibition began as a performative series which was developed over four years by the artist altering his appearance and posing in the style of original photographs of bushrangers, then manipulating the image using traditional and contemporary techniques to create unique linocuts and laser etchings.
Beard and Influence explores portraiture and the performative nature of the artist in the various guises of twelve Australian bushrangers. The inclusion of the artist’s life mask as a contrast to the replica death mask of Dan ‘Mad Dog’ Morgan (on loan from the University of Melbourne) in this exhibition brings the longevity of this practice of making impressions of visages into sharp focus.
Don’t miss the remarkable Beard and Influence by local artist Clayton Tremlett, an exhibition which presents a contemporary approach to the compelling stories of some of Australia’s most notorious bushrangers.
The exhibition Beard and Influence is accompanied by a catalogue, with an essay by Joanna Gilmour, Curator, National Portrait Gallery.
Beard and Influence is on display at Castlemaine Art Gallery from 10 July – 15 August 2016.
I Love New York, Mexico, Barcelona, Latvia and Venice

Tenancy 32, The Atrium
Melbourne 3000
Exhibition Dates: 26th July – 7th August 2016
Ingrid Wilson is a Melbourne –based painter, drawer and sculptor. Her artwork is diverse and forever developing. The artist’s style changes between the big, bold and colourful to the small, very detailed, dark, and intricate.
Ingrid’s artwork is inspired by everything she loves, such as: people, stories, children, travel, animals, dreams, and much more.
Outline of show:
The exhibition ‘I Love New York, Mexico, Barcelona, Latvia, Venice’ was inspired by my travels overseas. Whenever I travel, I draw to document my memories and experiences. I always seem to draw the architecture, interiors of cafes and restaurants, and little odd bod things. What I love about drawing when travelling is the spontaneity of it all. and the inspiration I get. I don’t know what I will be drawing next. Whether I’m walking down the street, or eating somewhere, on public transport, or at a tourist attraction, something catches my eye and it inspires me. I love the freedom of travel sketching and drawing in different locations, not being hidden away in my studio at home.
Paper Cut
Exhibition by Tahlia Giann
Opening Night: Wednesday 10th August 2016, 6-8pm
Exhibition Dates: 10th – 21st August 2016
Paper Cut comprises of a collection of paper sculpture art works derived from the traditional medium of quilling taken to a new Fine Art Context. Paper Cut explores the ways that pattern and colour can be used and how they also mimic life experiences. The concept comes from the way patterns are always perplexingly intertwined in our lives and behaviour even if ambiguous. As quoted by poet Robert Graves ‘One gets to the heart of the matter by a series of experiences in the same pattern, but in different colours’. PaperCut aims to explore the beauty of life and evoke a visual experience from a personal place.
Tahlia Giann has practised the art of quilling for ten years now. Her interest in pattern over studying has extended to sculpture. Each art piece is carefully planned and obsessively laboured over 10-30 hours.
Tahlia Giann is currently in the process of finishing her degree in Graphic Design, however her passion still lies within being able to create tactile artworks that break boundaries and explore paper in unseen ways. Her creation process involves taking in all experiences day to day and finding connections which can later then be articulated into visual art pieces. The art works ultimately mimic the beauty and realm of human enterprise.

‘See through loo’ experience at Bondi Beach this Weekend!
WHEN: During school holidays from Friday 8 – Sunday 10 July, 2016
WHERE: Bondi Pavillion, 4 Queen Elizabeth Drive, Bondi Beach NSW 2026
(Next to: Lush On Bondi Café)
WHAT: Unique ‘See through loo’ experience at Bondi Beach. The public is invited to experience a loo that gives the impression that people can see you. While you can clearly see everyone around you no one can see you, but it does give you the eerie and very uncomfortable feeling that ‘everyone’ is looking at you! Whoever takes part and casts a vote to support the sanitation crisis in third world countries receives a free bottle of Domestos.
WHO: Domestos and UNICEF have partnered to help Australians understand what it’s like for the 1 in 3 women worldwide who don’t have a toilet to use and are forced to go out in the open.
WHY: Domestos and UNICEF want to ask the public – how does it feel to risk shame, loss of dignity and attack just to go to the toilet? The purpose is to raise awareness for the sanitation crisis and encourage Australians to experience the ‘see through loo’.
