Welcome to DMROS 2014 and our third celebration of the Daylesford Macedon Ranges arts community. This November thirty artists will open their studios for the public for six days. This year we are adding a third weekend to the program to offer you maximum opportunity to mix, mingle and discover their work and creative practices.

open studios 2014
DMROS honours the contribution artists make to the community at large. They are constantly at the forefront of new concepts and ideas, new ways of thinking and new ways of responding to political, philosophical, spiritual, social, humanitarian, scientific, geological, and other global issues. You only have to read artists’ statements to understand their inspiration and the level on which many of them ponder the major issues concerning our world today and in the future. DMROS offers you a chance to discuss such things – and anything else you would like to know about their motivation and influences. The effect of artists’ endeavours on our health and well-being, and in creating the ‘clever society’ of Former Prime Minister John Howard’s terms is hard to measure. For that reason a comprehensive research project is currently underway in Britain.
What better setting to explore the artistic mind and pass the time of day than the rural region of Daylesford Macedon Ranges? Come visit this cultural community within a day’s distance from Melbourne, enjoy the scenery, food and wine and revel in the well being wrought by a day in the country and connection with arts and culture. We are grateful for the generosity of our artists, committee, funders, sponsors and community for making it happen. 5

Painter in Oils
Combining the stylised geometry of the Art Deco period with the clarity of the Italian Renaissance Masters, I seek to capture the female form as an expression of beauty, strength and grace. ‘Art history is a profound teacher. To achieve mastery one only has to tap into the Greats who have gone before us and surrender to their counsel. Their creative spirits still exist.’ M: 0425 327 969 catherineabel@gmail.com www.catherineabel.com

I work mainly with acrylic and mixed media, including elements of collage, pastel, charcoal and ink. I like to employ informal tools as well as brushes. My approach is abstract and improvisational. My intention is to avoid preconceived ways of working, resolving to negotiate a way out of chaos to an eloquent order. That for me is the thrill of creativity.

My work explores trans-cultural concepts and draws on a repertoire of appropriated symbols from traditional Asian imagery. I reinterpret them into my own visual stories. The Chinese works are based on the natural environment. The Japanese works are based on the Edo period tattoo; the figures are trapunto-quilted to create light and shade on the body. I paint with gouache on paper and acrylic on canvas. P: 03 5348 4008 M: 0400 350 077 lizgonebush@gmail.com www.lizarcher.com

Fresco Painter & Oils, Video
The energy of the land brings a long forgotten message to me: ‘I am ancient and full of wonder. You are part of me. I am nature, you are nature.’ For myself it is as if every breath, each heartbeat of the landscape is part of an overlay, a perfectly integrated continuum of the collective conscious of all living matter.

Painter & Printmaker
My work interprets the formal qualities of the natural world as I observe and understand it. I always begin with drawing and often retain the linear element in the final composition. Once the basic structure has been set down, I work intuitively, aiming at a synthesis of outer and inner vision. M: 0438 508 953 jeremybarrett100@gmail.com www.jeremybarrett.com 12

I enjoy watercolour for its combination of the deliberate and the fortuitous. You need to be sure of your brush strokes, which are often permanent, while still allowing the pigments to run together. I have recently been working on synthetic paper, which is very slick and non-absorbent. This adds additional levels of difficulty and excitement to my painting experience.

PAINTER
My work is fairly dynamic. In it I attempt to explore the relationships between ideas and images. I love the plasticity of paint, and I try to use the flexibility this medium allows to imbue my lines with energy, bring intensity to my portraits and give my landscapes a vivid, techno vibe. I tend to work on a large scale, befitting the size of the ideas I investigate, and the complexities of my images.

Printmaker
My work gravitates toward the secrets held in the dark psyche of our society and its politics. I often use humour as a counterbalance and aesthetics to make it more broadly appealing. Printing is the medium with which we have historically demonstrated the emperor’s nakedness or dressed the morally bankrupt as saints. I specialise in ugly stories for beautiful people.

I make relief prints from lino, polystyrene and found objects, printing on canvas and paper. I also sculpt and draw. Sculptures are found objects pieced together or carved wood. Drawings are oil pastel transfers on rice paper, a method I invented in China. Subject matter for all mediums comes from my immediate surroundings, whether I am at home or travelling to family and friends. M: 0401 257 909 jackieruth53@hotmail.com

My work ranges from figurative, stylized, graphic to geometric. It plays on relationships of space, light and energy. I enjoy working with different materials - bronze, steel and cast marble – because of their inherent beauty and qualities, each lending itself more appropriately to a particular design. I love graceful simplicity, and my hope is to convey that through my sculpture. M: 0407 943 675 singtree2@iinet.net.au http://picasaweb.google.com/113546743571589962840

Painting & Printmaking
My work belongs to the global tradition of humans depicting the world from above. I am inspired to paint aerial landscapes using photographs and sketches taken on board aircraft en route to destinations – both in Australia and overseas. I later research the same locations through satellite imagery and create both a literal and interpreted impression of the land below. M: 0435 800 578 mallyongr@gmail.com www.gregmallyon.com.au

My artistic style comes from a love of experimenting with photography and other media. It is eclectic and can range from the light and breezy to the dark and foreboding; from dainty floral portraits to the wide expanse of the Australian outback. The piece is then matched to specific media to create the finished artwork. M: 0411 530 015 deborah@deborahmullins.com.au 26

SCULPTOR
Since Padma and I bought our property in 2009, we have worked to develop an environment for art that celebrates nature. As our property evolves, it becomes an ever-changing showcase for my stone sculptures. These days I combine carving stone with visionary landscaping and enthusiasm for gardening. My joy is in working hand in hand with nature. As life shapes me, so I shape the stones. M: 0419 510 371 info@embraceart.com

PAINTER & ART EDUCATOR
I am a multifaceted artist, enjoying creating in many mediums. To me, the act of respecting one’s creative practice as a meditation, is fundamental to wellbeing – the ground on which I make art and conduct classes. Recently I have returned to illustration and am developing a series of children’s books. For over 40 years I have been fortunate to travel extensively and exhibit works in many countries.

My works are influenced by symbolism, mythology and nature, mostly painted in acrylics. I also love painting portraits. The weekly life drawing sessions held at my studio are significant in my development as an artist. In 2009 Kevin Mutton and I published ‘Running Wild’, with his poetry of the soul and my illustrations. P: 03 5424 1373 louiseotten@myacn.net.au 29

Drawer, Painter, Etcher
My approach to space has its ancestry with Cezanne and Picasso. It enables me to express energy, light and movement through purification and beautification. The purification distills the image to its minimalist strokes, creating an image that is irreducible – beautification through key harmonies, expressing the inner meaning of an object.

2D MIXED MEDIA
For many years my work has focused on the relationships of people with each other and their environment: they merge, connect and overlap. My slow process of layering mixed media and text echoes our many layers of history. My people are schematic and transparent, of different times and perspectives: described by body language, they are reflective and contemplative. P: 03 5348 5679 chrisrowe@westnet.com.au

SCULPTOR
I have developed a preference for sculpting animals. Their natural grace and athleticism make them an easy subject for me. Rather than just producing a study of nature, I seek to accentuate in a sculpture an animal’s strength or charm, often choosing to elongate limbs or exaggerate the body volume for the purpose of making a work of art, of beauty, that will be valued for life.

Current paintings explore the relationship between mankind and the natural world, with focus on the dialogue between architecture and nature. Mine is an imagined reality. Inspiration comes from various sources including the ‘Living Walls’ of Biologist Patric Blanc and concepts of Philosopher Thomas Berry. Using collage and cut-out, perspective distorts as my mind flows around, above and beyond the fixed image. P: 03 5348 7585 M: 0427 843 890 wingara1@iprimus.com.au

My captivation with the art, science and craft of photography is at many levels but always drawn back to see the world beyond the familiar with photomacography.

Tradesmen such as blacksmiths, cobblers, carpenters and butchers wore aprons. While the apron performs a useful function, it can also be a fashion accessory, with styles changing over the decades. From fancy and frilly to practical and plain, on your travels spend some time exploring these fascinating garments from the Kyneton Museum collection and private lenders.

Combining the stylised geometry of the Art Deco period with the clarity of the Italian Renaissance Masters, I seek to capture the female form as an expression of beauty, strength and grace. ‘Art history is a profound teacher. To achieve mastery one only has to tap into the Greats who have gone before us and surrender to their counsel. Their creative spirits still exist.’

My work explores trans-cultural concepts and draws on a repertoire of appropriated symbols from traditional Asian imagery. I reinterpret them into my own visual stories. The Chinese works are based on the natural environment. The Japanese works are based on the Edo period tattoo; the figures are trapunto-quilted to create light and shade on the body. I paint with gouache on paper and on acrylic on canvas.

The energy of the land brings a long forgotten message to me: ‘I am ancient and full of wonder. You are part of me.

I enjoy watercolour for its combination of the deliberate and the fortuitous. You need to be sure of your brush strokes, which are often permanent, while still allowing the pigments to run together. I have recently been working on synthetic paper, which is very slick and non-absorbent. This adds additional levels of difficulty and excitement to my painting experience.

My work is fairly dynamic. In it I attempt to explore the relationships between ideas and images. I love the plasticity of paint, and I try to use the flexibility this medium allows to imbue my lines with energy, bring intensity to my portraits and give my landscapes a vivid, techno vibe. I tend to work on a large scale, befitting the size of the ideas I investigate, and the complexities of my images.

My work gravitates toward the secrets held in the dark psyche of our society and its politics. I often use humour as a counterbalance and aesthetics to make it more broadly appealing. Printing is the medium with which we have historically demonstrated the emperor’s nakedness or dressed the morally bankrupt as saints. I specialise in ugly stories for beautiful people.

SCULPTOR
In my work I am using materials and objects that we are all familiar with – often organic or reclaimed material. I apply traditional techniques and crafts in innovative and surprising ways. I aim at creating environments of reminiscence and wonder, engaging you, the viewer. I aim at establishing a memory that remains with you for a while.

Sculptor, Printmaker
I have worked as a professional sculptor and printmaker for over thirty years. I am inspired by nature, landscape, literature, film, music, dreams, people and love. As a sculptor I work in a range of materials – bronze, wood and stone amongst them. As a printmaker I predominately employ wood engraving and etching. I have lived and worked in the Macedon Ranges for the last twenty years because I love this area.

SCULPTOR
My work ranges from figurative, stylized, graphic to geometric. It plays on relationships of space, light and energy. I enjoy working with different materials - bronze, steel and cast marble – because of their inherent beauty and qualities, each lending itself more appropriately to a particular design. I love graceful simplicity, and my hope is to convey that through my sculpture. M: 0407 943 675 singtree2@iinet.net.au http://picasaweb.google.com/113546743571589962840

Fantastic worlds and mystical dreamscapes enact the absurdity of human existence in my porcelain works, encaustic panels, and prints. In my printmaking studio I offer workshops for printmakers, studio access, printmaking collaborations, residencies and craft classes in on-glaze porcelain, letterpress stationery and simple book structures.

Painting & Printmaking
My work belongs to the global tradition of humans depicting the world from above. I am inspired to paint aerial landscapes using photographs and sketches taken on board aircraft en route to destinations – both in Australia and overseas. I later research the same locations through satellite imagery and create both a literal and interpreted impression of the land below. M: 0435 800 578 mallyongr@gmail.com www.gregmallyon.com.au

PHOTOGRAPHER
My artistic style comes from a love of experimenting with photography and other media. It is eclectic and can range from the light and breezy to the dark and foreboding; from dainty floral portraits to the wide expanse of the Australian outback. The piece is then matched to specific media to create the finished artwork. M: 0411 530 015 deborah@deborahmullins.com.au 26

SCULPTOR
Since Padma and I bought our property in 2009, we have worked to develop an environment for art that celebrates nature. As our property evolves, it becomes an ever-changing showcase for my stone sculptures. These days I combine carving stone with visionary landscaping and enthusiasm for gardening. My joy is in working hand in hand with nature. As life shapes me, so I shape the stones. M: 0419 510 371 info@embraceart.com

PAINTER & ART EDUCATOR
I am a multifaceted artist, enjoying creating in many mediums. To me, the act of respecting one’s creative practice as a mediation, is fundamental to wellbeing – the ground on which I make art and conduct classes. Recently I have returned to illustration and am developing a series of children’s books. For over 40 years I have been fortunate to travel extensively and exhibit works in many countries.

My works are influenced by symbolism, mythology and nature, mostly painted in acrylics. I also love painting portraits. The weekly life drawing sessions held at my studio are significant in my development as an artist. In 2009 Kevin Mutton and I published ‘Running Wild’, with his poetry of the soul and my illustrations. P: 03 5424 1373 louiseotten@myacn.net.au 29

My approach to space has its ancestry with Cezanne and Picasso. It enables me to express energy, light and movement through purification and beautification. The publication distills the image to its minimalist stroked, creating an image that is irreducible; beautification through accentuating key harmonies which make an object beautiful expressing the inner meaning of an object.

2D MIXED MEDIA
For many years my work has focused on the relationships of people with each other and their environment: they merge, connect and overlap. My slow process of layering mixed media and text echoes our many layers of history. My people are schematic and transparent, of different times and perspectives: described by body language, they are reflective and contemplative. P: 03 5348 5679 chrisrowe@westnet.com.au

SCULPTOR
I have developed a preference for sculpting animals. Their natural grace and athleticism make them an easy subject for me. Rather than just producing a study of nature, I seek to accentuate in a sculpture an animal’s strength or charm, often choosing to elongate limbs or exaggerate the body volume for the purpose of making a work of art, of beauty, that will be valued for life.

PAINTER
Current paintings explore the relationship between mankind and the natural world, with focus on the dialogue between architecture and nature. Mine is an imagined reality. Inspiration comes from various sources including the ‘Living Walls’ of Biologist Patric Blanc and concepts of Philosopher Thomas Berry. Using collage and cut-out, perspective distorts as my mind flows around, above and beyond the fixed image. P: 03 5348 7585 M: 0427 843 890 wingara1@iprimus.com.au

Surrounded by bush in my studio, I explore the relationship with nature and the environment as I paint on silk and wool with French dyes, while also seeking nuances of colour using natural dyes. Dye, stitch, embellish for wearable art is my passion. I have been a Shibori artist for over thirty years and love the magic of resist dye processes to produce unique 3D pieces.

I create photographics using many different processes some discovered almost 180 years ago. My captivation with the art, science and craft of photography is at many levels but always drawn back to see the world beyond the familiar with photomacography. This opens up a wonderful concealed world which I capture on 8 x 10 inch sheet film, from this I make permanent handmade photographs and photogravures.
