There are no Words – under construction

With Michelle Hamer
Melbourne now Public Programs, National Gallery of Victoria, Vic 2014

There are no Words – Under Construction was a public program event held at the National Gallery of Victoria as part of Melbourne Now in January and February 2014.
Over two days participants could stitch around the text on ‘flash cards’ and also to create statements using the cards in a process captured through time-lapse photography.

Cultural Threads, City of Greater Dandenong, Vic 2014

After the success of the NGV Melbourne Now Public Programs Michelle and I were invited to be a part of the City of Greater Dandenong's Cultural Threads Festival. In June we held a workshop with the Australian Hazara Woman's Friendship Network, stitching and making photo strips from the tapestry flashcards. It was a wonderful day and very inspiring to see what the woman produced.

This video capturing the events of the day played on the Dandenong Civic Square Big Screen from Thursday 31 July to Sunday 31 August 2014.
