ATASDA’s ‘A Touch of Gold’ 50th Anniversary Exhibition - Part II
ATASDA's 'A Touch of Gold’ 50th Anniversary Exhibition - Part III
Introduction
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Australian Textile Arts & Surface Design Association (ATASDA), the exhibition, 'A Touch of Gold,' explores artist's concepts of the theme. In tandem with the 'A Touch of Gold' exhibition, other projects have been initiated to celebrate the organization's extraordinary 50-year contribution to the field of textile arts and surface design.
Background Information
ATASDA started out as the Batik Association in 1974. As part of the celebration, current New South Wales members of ATASDA received a 22 x 22 cm piece of fabric which was initially stamped with wax as a resist and hand dyed for a 'Batik Block Challenge' project in recognition of its early history.
Each member could choose a motif or imagery that represented them as a member of ATASDA. Techniques could include the artist's chosen textile art practice such as - appliqué, embroidery, contemporary stitching, painting, printmaking, collage, knitting, crochet etc.
The completed fabric blocks will be assembled together as a wall hanging celebrating present-day members of ATASDA, NSW, and when the organization began as the Batik Association.
Amaranthine (Batik Block Challenge)
My contribution to the 'Batik Block Challenge Wall Hanging' project was based on imagery employing printmaking techniques and was titled, 'Amaranthine.' Color choices included the amaranthine color palette and the exhibition theme color of gold. Interestingly, 'Amaranthine' is described as being an imaginary flower that never fades. My passion for the natural world culminates in this printed ArtCloth work with my hand drawn and hand printed botanical and cascading floral imagery encompassing my aesthetic for multi-layered, and multi-hued visual elements that is the basis of my storytelling.
Exhibition Dates and Venues
(i) Incinerator Art Space, Willoughby, Sydney, NSW 17th April to 5th May 2024. (ATASDA gratefully acknowledges Willoughby City Council for the provision of Incinerator Art Space);
(ii) Whitehorse Artspace Gallery, Box Hill, Victoria, from 30th November to 21th December 2024.
