We ARE Enough Art Project

TO help bring about positive societal change, two Hobart women have embarked on an ambitious Australia-wide art project they say will be the biggest artwork of its kind.

Amanda Gill and Christie Cooper hope to recruit 1600 women from across Australia to take part in their We ARE Enough art project, photographing them with their confronting life experiences written on their bodies. The We Are Enough Art Project started when Amanda and Christie wrote lists of words that had been said to hurt them and had had long-lasting effects on them. Then they wrote those words all over their bodies and posed for photos, with mouths taped shut and hands bound behind their backs to represent the constraints the world puts on women. The experience was so cathartic that the pair decided to offer it to other women, giving them an outlet to tell stories that may otherwise stay hidden.

Amanda said the We ARE Enough Art Project is designed to “shine a large spotlight on subjects that make us squirm and feel uneasy and want to shrink away from”. “We want to start a conversation that doesn’t end,” she said.

“We want people to start thinking about the power of their words. We want people to understand the impact of what we tell our little girls and how it affects the women they grow up to be. We want women to fall in love with themselves. We want women to be recognized for who and what they are.

“We want them to stand proud and strong, brave and beautiful, and take back their power.” Amanda and Christie have stated taking photos and interviewing women about their experiences for the project. They plan to travel Australia in a caravan/mobile studio, photographing and interviewing a wide demographic of women who have suffered discrimination, racism, domestic violence, poverty, sexism, abuse, coercive control, neglect and other forms of trauma.

To cover their startup costs while looking for sponsors and applying for grants, the artists have set up a Go Fund

ROKEBY painter Michael Ransom is one of three Tasmanian artists shortlisted for a lucrative new national art award.

Mr Ransom’s piece ‘Bending Moment #1’ is a finalist in the Open category of the inaugural National Capital Art Prize, the first Australiawide competition for paintings of any subject.

A not-for-profit organisation established in Canberra earlier this year, the National Capital Art Prize aims to support and showcase the skill and diversity of Australian artists through an annual national painting competition.

Mr Ransom only returned to making art a year ago, after taking a decade-long break to focus on music. One of the first pieces he completed was the multi-layered, multi-media ‘Bending Moment #1’, created using a range of materials and experimental techniques influenced by his background in printmaking, industrial design and music.

It’s the first in a planned series of abstract works that “explore the idea of ‘moment’ as an expression of movement or potential movement in both time and space”.

“Being shortlisted in the National Capital Art Prize is big for me, it validates my work in a way,” Mr Ransom said.

“I was particularly happy because the prize has some high-quality curators and somebody has liked what I do, so that’s important to me.

“I think it could create some genuine opportunities for me down the track, and I feel really motivated to do a lot of work at the moment.”

Tasmanian artists Louise Daniels and Tania Price are also shortlisted for the awards – Daniels in the First Nations category for ‘Dune 1’; and Price in the Open category for ‘The Dance’.

They join 124 other finalists from across Australia on the shortlist, with their works selected from a field of more than 1000 submissions. Winners of the four main categories will share a prize pool of $45,000.

The winners were scheduled to be announced on 17 September, but the announcement has been delayed because of Covid. To view the finalist artworks and vote in the online People’s Choice Award, go to www. nationalcapitalartprize. com.au

Outdoor projects for Spring

IF you’re planning an outdoor project at your place this spring, no matter how big or small, local landscape garden supplier DécorEarth is ready to rock.

DécorEarth owner Chris Madden has no doubt the Mornington landscape supply yard will be hectic over the next few months.

Gravel, garden soil and barks are just some of the products they stock that will help homeowners spruce up their outdoor areas in the lead-up to summer.

“Since the world as we knew it changed last year, gardening has become the new going out,” he said.

“Landscape gardeners are crazily busy.

“Last year when we were working from home and spending weekends there too, gardening and landscaping projects became the vibe. "Raised vegetable garden beds were also really popular.”

When it’s time to start a garden project, that means it’s time to call DécorEarth Mornington.

A family-owned and operated local business, DécorEarth has earned a reputation for supplying professional landscapers, builders, tradesmen and avid home gardeners with an extensive range of quality sands, soils, stones and other garden supplies at competitive rates, complete with friendly service from knowledgeable staff.

Chris opened the original DécorEarth site at Glenorchy nearly 15 years ago.

With Chris overseeing the business, son Kyle running the office and wife Michelle working hard behind the scenes, DécorEarth steadily grew and eventually expanded, with the family opening the Mornington site in 2018.

The company now employs about a dozen staff at Mornington, including experienced horticulturalists Scotty and Stephen who will not only give expert advice on landscaping but also show you how to prepare and lay the perfect lawn.

Having the greenest yard in your street takes time and effort, and these guys will help you get the groundwork right – and stop you making common mistakes like laying the wrong soil or sowing the wrong seed for the Tasmanian climate.

Lawns are their passion! Home gardeners working on smaller projects can bring their own trailers to the yard – which is conveniently located near the Mornington Park waste transfer station - or take advantage of the range of pre-bagged products, including bark and mulch (from $5 a bag), decorative rocks and pebbles (from $6.50) and quarry products like metal dust, concrete premix, FCR and blue metal (from $5.50).

Firewood is available by the scoop.

DécorEarth also stocks a range of high-quality Colorbond and zinc raised garden beds, with prices starting from just $72; and long-lasting and stylish Straightcurve steel garden edging which gives an on-trend look.

They are the only local distributor of the popular Glebe Gold organic compost, and currently offer a fifth bag free when you buy four.
