In September/October 2023, Gallery Lane Cove + Creative Studios will present two new exhibitions, ‘forage: symbiotic (trans)formations’ and Strange Notions – untethered fibre artists.
forage: symbiotic (trans)formation
The exhibition is part of Part of Gallery Lane Cove + Creative Studios’ Guest Curator Program. Nicole Wallace curates the exhibition. The exhibition runs from 13 September to 7 October 2023.
Artists include Alyson Bell, Katherine Boland, Heather Burness, Katie Harris-MacLeod, Catriona Pollard, Rhonda Pryor, Jo Victoria and Liz Williamson.
Gallery Lane Cove + Creative Studios describe the exhibition as follows:
In a period of concerning climate change, ‘forage: symbiotic (trans)formations’ explores, interprets, transforms, and preserves nature’s ephemera and our relationships to it; inviting visitors to pursue deepened connections with their surroundings, environmental awareness and the veneration of our human-enviro symbiosis.
‘forage: symbiotic (trans)formations’ brings together eight east coast, metro and regional female Artists for whom foraging natural materials is at the core of their artistic practices.
The Artists introduce fresh and original methods to conventional artistic mediums such as printmaking, painting, weaving, fibre art, textiles, film, digital AI, ceramics, and sculptural installation. They achieve this by integrating natural debris, saps, pigments, and the surrounding atmosphere.

Strange Notions – untethered fibre artists
The exhibition runs from 11 October – 4 November 2023.

‘Strange Notions’, is a group exhibition by 19 fibre and textile artists known collectively as ‘untethered fibre artists inc’.
They aim to extend the viewers’ vocabulary of textile and fibre art and provoke personal thoughts and journeys through contemporary, innovative, and expertly crafted works.
‘Strange Notions’ present representational and conceptual works of fibre art that delve into rich resources, from the tangible to the non-tangible, the personal to the communal, yielding critical reflections and thoughtful projections.
Each artwork is a celebration of differences in the combination of fibres and techniques, rephrasing assumptions and reflecting the diversity in approach to artmaking, through the vocabulary of fibre.
