Gallery Lane Cove + Creative Studios’ final exhibition for 2022 is Critical Elements: navigating the creativity of being by untethered fibre artists inc.
The exhibition’s opening night is on 23 November 2022, and the exhibition finishes on 16 December 2022. Entry to the Exhibition is free.
What is Critical Elements?
Critical Elements features experimental textile works from 20 women artists and seeks to showcase fibre art’s diversity and rephrase traditions.
The artworks are a mix of new and previously exhibited works from untethered fibre artists inc., in varying sizes and configurations, curated as an interrelated exhibition.
Through these diverse works, the group aims to extend the viewer’s language of textile and fibre art, and elicit personal thoughts and journeys through contemporary, innovative and expertly crafted works.
Critical Elements is a formative experience into navigating the creativity of being – the process in the growth of one’s personal art practice. The exhibition yields significant reflections and thoughtful projections as women artists, exploring connections with the personal and the intimate, as well as social and historical stories that have touched the individual lives of our artists.
The distinctive concept of this exhibition lies in its unique blend of capturing those elusive creative elements by allowing artists to either reveal a previously exhibited artwork that resonated or create new art in response to the theme.
Every artwork interrelates with the structure or state of another within the narrative, reacts to its scale and personality and seems to socialize and interrelate within the space. The exhibition encourages the audience to interact and reflect on these personal, physical, and psychological stories.
On their website untethered fibre artists inc. notes:
“This exhibition is representational of our history as “the keepers of stories”, validating the wisdom of the older woman’s voice in the art world.”
untethered fibre artists inc. are proudly sponsored by Bernina Australia.

Enrol in an Art Class or Workshop – Gallery Lane Cove
Gallery Lane Cove + Creative Studios is located in the building directly across from the Lane Cove Library. Melbourne might have the Paris End of Collins Street, but Lane Cove has the Cultural Precinct on Longueville Road (Gallery Lane Cove + Creative Studios, Lane Cove Library and the Living and Learning Centre, all located on Longueville Road).
Gallery Lane Cove provides the whole community with opportunities to attend art workshops and term classes in printmaking (including screen printing), sewing, jewellery making, knitting, life drawing, painting and pottery. ITC is incredibly excited about going to pottery/ceramic classes (ITC became obsessed with pottery after watching the Great British Pottery Throwdown – like MasterChef for potters).
