Tethering

Friday 11th October 2024


TETHERING

11 October - 9 November 2024 | Albany Town Hall

In her solo exhibition Tethering, Annette Davis explores ideas of connection and holding on.

Her curiosity about trees growing from rocky crevices and coastal shrubs clinging to windswept granite boulders was her starting point. Inspired by nature’s will to survive, Annette has used materials and techniques associated with rural life to create this new body of work.

The first step in her creative process involved the materials having a conversation with nature, either through natural dyeing, frottage or being buried under leaves for extended periods. Using techniques of knotting, looping, stitching, and twisting, these raw materials of canvas, cloth, paper, rope and wire have been transformed into artworks which express connection to place.

Annette Davis is an artist and curator from Albany who is interested in landscape and history. Each year she stays near the Murchison River in the mid-west for extended periods, where she immerses herself and her materials in nature.

Join Annette Davis for an Artist Talk in the gallery, 10.30am Saturday 19 October.

Open Tuesday - Saturday 10am - 5pm 

This exhibition is proud to be a part of the IOTA24 Festival, supported by Lotterywest.
