IN THE REGIONS
Going with the Flow – Batik on Thursday Island
Flying Arts facilitator Scott Maxwell was excited to bring the traditional Javanese technique of batik to First NationS artists on the remote and stunning Thursday Island in the Torres Strait.
The workshop was attended by local artists from Waiben (Thursday Island), plus the surrounding islands of Keriri (Hammond) and Badu (Mulgrave) and Erub (Darnley) as well as Bamaga on the mainland.
Tina Baum, the curator from the National Gallery of Australia, also called in to see what the artists were doing. She later remarked to Scott that the participants’ body of work was some of the very best fabric designs she had seen!
FEATURED ARTISTS
The work of four artists – all Flying Arts members – is currently on show in our Flying Arts’ Featured Artists at the Judy: Winter Exhibition. The exhibition, which will be on display until May 25, features small-scale artworks displayed on plinths in the foyer of the Judith Wright Centre.
We had a chat to the artists about their work! Learn more about:

Event Details
Artists currently residing in Queensland outside of the Brisbane City Council boundary
are eligible to enter the Queensland Regional Art Awards.
The Queensland Regional Art Awards (QRAA) is an annual visual arts prize and exhibition for established and emerging artists living in regional and remote Queensland. The program aims to provide a platform for further professional development.
From dirt roads to rock pools, luscious rainforests to local festivals, Queensland is a state that inspires exploration. It’s full of diverse personalities, local legends and hidden gems valued by tourists and locals alike.
This year, artists are asked to embrace a spirit of adventure to discover something unique about their own community or one that they visit within the state.
The theme was to be addressed in an accompanying artist statement of 100 – 150 words. All entries are eligible for the $10,000 Flying Arts ‘Art for Life’ Award and for selection in the touring exhibition.

Additional Information
Dr. Rhi Johnson is a Toowoomba based artist and lecturer who works primarily in the fields of Printmaking, Artist’s Books and Mixed Media art. She is interested in the formation of everyday narratives, and how these can be disrupted or subverted visually. Rhi investigates visual cues that can punctuate an environment, object or space of perceived meaning, and in doing so, may allude to subconscious methods of processing information. She explores these through smaller scale book, paper and canvas works, through to large-scale mural works.
Karri McPherson was born in Hong Kong and emigrated to Australia soon after. She is a contemporary painter and muralist living in Toowoomba, Queensland and is undertaking a Bachelor of Creative Art at the University of Southern Queensland. Throughout 2017, she undertook a month-long residency learning how to translate her work onto a large scale, ultimately leading to her participation in the First Coat Festival. Her practice explores geometric art in relation to contemporary spatial confinements and through her hard-edge forms she seeks to break down the boundaries of perception. By actualising hard-edge forms within a public setting, McPherson seeks to understand the power that geometric street art has to infuse communities with the simplistic beauty of shape, form and colour.

Mary Barron likes to employ traditional craft techniques in unusual ways often working with recycled materials particularly household waste materials. She developed and ran a Community Art Project in Logan City for which she received a RADF Grant. In 2016, Mary undertook an artist residency in Thailand working with ladies in the regional village of Sam Rit for two months to develop products made from local recycled materials and then taught the ladies the skills required to make them. Mary believes that when making art from recycled materials the work retains a memory of the materials’ original function, adding another layer of meaning to the work.

Event Details
Showcasing the talent of our artist membership from Brisbane and regional Queensland, this exhibition takes the form of small scale three dimensional works displayed on plinths in the foyer space and corridors of level 2 at the Judith Wright Centre.
The Winter Exhibition features works from artist members Peta Lloyd, Nicola Hooper, Gemma Garcia-Roman and Ann Russell.
Peta Lloyd (Coowonga, near Rockhampton)
Peta Lloyd describes herself as a bricoleur… transforming everyday ordinary stories through the skillful marriage of collected materials, folded pages and prints. She is a visual storyteller, creating quirky, elegant and optimistic narratives, often housing these unique stories within a vessel. Peta uses layered symbols and motifs to create multiple meanings. read more
Nicola Hooper (Logan)
Nicola’s work explores concepts surrounding human/animal relationships via “zoonoses”. She does this both visually and verbally through fairy tale and rhyme contexts using drawing and lithography. Her exhibited books are all mosquito repellent. The encaustic covers are combined with Citronella oil. The lithographic books are printed with combined ink and citronella oil. read more
Gemma Garcia-Roman (Brisbane)
Gemma Garcia-Roman has an interest in integrating the Spanish culture (her heritage) to her current home Australia. Her work is colourful, and she tries to combine some archetype ideas from distinct cultures; from Spain (Spanish dresses patterns like red with white polka dots), bulls, and Australian animals (koalas, kangaroos, etc). Her artworks are influenced by famous Spanish and Latin artists, Picasso and Frida Kahlo. read more
Ann Russell (Cashmere)
Ann Russell works with liminal spaces caught just outside ‘real’ existence, seen and simultaneously unseen. Her works are depictions of these spaces, often based on Surreal narratives using mixed media in a bricolage form – combining elements and symbols that retain some of their meaning from our world, juxtaposed with new meaning in the worlds she creates. read more
