MEDIA RELEASE

Common Place

Access Gallery at Bundoora Homestead Art Centre

Exhibition runs 2nd to 19th June, opening Saturday 4th June at 2:00pm.



An exhibition of selected works by NMIT Visual Arts students interpreting the historical and contemporary identity of Bundoora Homestead in a variety of media, using architecture and landscape as primary sources.

Students from courses across the Visual Arts Department travelled to the Bundoora Homestead Art Centre in March this year to spend the day drawing, painting and photographing the site. The works were further developed in a variety of media back in the studio. A selection of the final images will be shown in an exhibition on site at the Bundoora Homestead Access Gallery from the 2nd to 19th June. The exhibition aims to examine the layered histories of identity and place and provides an opportunity for students to exhibit their work within the community.

Printmaking

I'm really enjoying printmaking, it can be challenging at times (cutting the tile can be painful for my dodgy thumb!) and thinking in reverse (to enable cutting out progressive layers) has always been tricky for me. But I'm getting there...
