Nature is a boundless source of inspiration. Being close to nature reminds you to pay attention and be in the here and now. It is a powerful impetus for creativity and can foster and preserve a sense of wonder. The colours, textures and shapes found in the environment can inspire not only art but also science.
Nature has always provided artist Anne Cochrane with great ideas for new projects. Living and working in Albany, a biodiverse region, provides amazing examples to work with. Anne’s passion is creating 3-dimensional sculptures of fruits and seeds from wool fibres as well as using leaves, barks and flowers to print on fabric and paper. Both artistic pursuits provide materials that can then be used to make ornaments, wall hangings, small furnishings and wearable garments.
When Nature Inspires is on display and sale from Thursday 14 to Saturday 30 November 2024, gallery open 9am to 5pm daily.
