FREE PUBLIC ART LECTURE

In a free public lecture, Lorraine Connelly-Northey will be talking about her work and life as a practising

artist.


When: 

6.00pm, Thursday 5 August 2010

Where: Holmesglen Chadstone campus, Batesford Road, Chadstone 3148

Building 1 level 2, room 02, 

Melway Ref: 69E1

Bookings are essential: 03 9209 5605

Refreshments will follow the lecture.


Using found materials including discarded fencing wire, rusted tin and weathered iron, Connelly-Northey

practice is ecologically sound and references the traditional grass and sedge weaving techniques indigenous

to the women of the Mallee and the Riverina.


Connelly-Northey was born in Swan Hill to a father of Irish descent and a mother of Waradgerie descent.

Her reinterpretations of traditional Aboriginal implements and clothing relate to the history and culture of the

Waradgerie and the pragmatism of her father whom Connelly-Northey accompanied to rubbish dumps in

search of recyclable treasure.
