Vision 2020: Further Statistics & Curatorial Insights

19 January 2020 Filed Under: Curator Knowledge, Vision 2020 Leave a Comment

With scope to select up to 40 works from 100 complying entries, I wondered if the selection process for Vision 2020 might be a little easier than for my previous exhibitions. However, making the final selection was still an intense process and I had to leave out some strong works. Ironically, even my own entry Acuity #2: Colour Blind did not make the cut as it really did not fit in. Pop over to the new Vision 2020 blog for other vital statistics and curatorial insights.

This year (2026) marks the 20th anniversary of the Australasian Quilt Convention. The entrance features a display of the brochure covers over the years and it was fun to identify 3 covers that include snippets of exhibits that I was involved with.

â­ï¸ 2009 was my first AQC. I was a tutor and my contribution to the “teach me†exhibit was “Grass†that you can see in the lower right corner.

â­ï¸ in 2013, the Twelve by Twelve International Art Quilt Project shared the Colourplay series which included a piece by @studioconway highlighting the plight of refugees in drought (see centre left)

â­ï¸ in 2020 the chronology was disrupted by the Covid pandemic but not before the brochure was published with “The Fuchsia’s Looking Bright m†by @darlingdi from @vision2020textiles who poseda poignant question: Will my optimistic dream of a brighter future turn out to be 2020 vision, or just a fun and fabulous fabric fusion of my favourite colours?

Congratulations to @craft.events_  on the 20th Anniversary 🤩

I am driven to abstraction. Abstraction is a persistent and insistent force in my creative practice. Working improvisationally, I capture the essence of my subjects to impart a sense of wonder of the natural world and a deep affinity to place. 

As part of the Rajah Award that I received last year, I will be sharing a selection of my textile paintings in a special exhibit at the Australasian Quilt Convention in  Melbourne presented by @craft.events_ 

Textile enthusiasts from across Australia and overseas gather at this exciting event. If you see me at AQC, please do say hello. I am looking forward to seeing everyoneðŸ˜
