Diane will be exhibiting Natural Asset #2 and Not Negotiable in the Handmark group show Celebrating Landscape, 2 - 19 July, 2021.
Fake Muse #1 by Diane is a finalist in the 2021 Women's Art Prize Tasmania. The work consists of nine different Vogue fashion magazine covers, gridded and hand cut into 5940 individual pieces. These tiny cells, assembled by hand, form a reinvented, pixelated cover which has increased nine fold: a new “super” model. It explores notions of beauty and representation in the media.
Diane's artwork Not Negotiable is a finalist in the Milburn Art Prize for Landscape, 2021 in Brisbane. The work explores the Kunanyi/Mount Wellington cable car debate in Hobart. Diane has used recycled business stamps and inks to depict this iconic mountain.
Patrick's kinetic artwork Of Fallen Angels based upon the archaeopteryx fossil is a finalist in the 66th Blake Art Prize. The 2020 Prize will be at the Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre, 13 February – 11 April, 2021.
Incomplete Disarray on at Handmark, Hobart 9-26 October, 2020. This solo exhibition by DIANE includes collage, photography and monoprints.
DIANE states of the exhibition, "Incomplete Disarray is a response to a world awash with information. Each day we are flooded with imagery, text and sound at an increasing rate. We encounter a vast array of issues often in a matter of seconds. Our emotions swing wildly as we flick our way through fragments of data - from the global pandemic to lip glosses, from environmental collapse to a new range of nail polish, from political turmoil to fast food ads. The social media feed is a “meal” of endless courses. It is a book we can never finish - we cannot close the cover and place it back on the shelf. Instead social media is a scroll - a scroll without end. The pressure to keep up is unrealistic and the orchestrated perfection that is often portrayed is unattainable. This body of work asks us to pause and reflect upon the nature of information, to question its context and motives, to ask if these constructs and perceptions are accurate. We can be left wondering if we measure up to these airbrushed ideals.”
