This exhibition presents Miri Badger’s recent series of representational paintings depicting objects of adornment and decoration. Meticulously painted with an emphasis on colour composition, these collaged artworks speak to the ways in which we represent our interior selves through exterior expressions and symbols. In this way these works can be seen to serve as self-referential portraits. Depictions of hats and headdresses are repeated throughout the series. This stems from Badger’s interest in the role such garments historically played in signifying a person’s status and power, as well as being an expression of un-functional playfulness.Webb Gallery | Camryn Day, Abby Colthup, Sophie Evans, Baylee Griffin: Boys from the Bush. Taking its title from Lee Kernaghan’s 1992 pub classic, Boys from the Bush: emerging regional and rural women artists, highlights the experiences and personal narratives of young women artists from regional Queensland locales. Boys from the Bush presents alternate approaches to representation within these historically male dominated communities by challenging ideas of stoic regionalism and romanticized masculinity in the rural landscape. Through narratives of alienation and otherness, to, celebration and wonder, each artist unites criticism and optimism to share their own markers of home and the often-felt push-and-pull between regional/metropolitan locales.
