CONNECTING THE HUNTER WETLANDS TO MUSIC AND FIBRES 

It's no exaggeration to say that the opening of this exhibition was simply a triumph! 

Spilling out on to the footpath, on a balmy summer evening, the Timeless Textiles Gallery was packed like it’s never been packed out before. Guests were treated to some delicious wine and canapes, lovely live music, and simply OUTSTANDING artworks! The Artists have done an incredible job interpreting the music from the "Song of the Wetlands" album. 

Here is the link for you to see the pieces and listen to the song that inspired each; THE EXHIBITION  but I strongly encourage you to get in to the gallery before it finishes ....there's real magic in seeing the works LIVE ...closing on the 11th Feb.

A smaller exhibition will move to the Hunter Wetlands, Shortland, in April but being a smaller space, it cannot accommodate the larger pieces in the collection. 

And of course, don’t forget, you can go to my Bandcamp page to listen to the album – Moz on Bandcamp  - just click on Song of the Wetlands and listen free. You can also purchase the full album or individual tracks

FIRST REVEAL

 

11months ...and we're at the 'pointy end' ....that means, production is about to start ...  if you care to pop on over to the website, you'll find a new post there pre-empting the 'official' announcements - it's the EARLY BIRD peek just for you!    Here's the link;   Maureen's Website   and hint:  Subscribe please, it costs nothing and there's another post coming quickly to give you more information about the album itself.

This has been such a fabulous project to work on that the curators and I agreed it was worth a documentary in its own right.  So we've been steadily compiling that over the past few months and it will be posted up to one of my Youtube channels before the official launch of the album.

The project itself emerges in 3 stages;   1.  the music is exposed in December    2. the larger exhibition arrives at the Timeless Textiles Gallery in Newcastle in January, where you will be able to listen to each track that inspired the artwork you're viewing.   3. The reduced exhibition comes home to The Hunter Wetlands gallery space in April and will be celebrated accordingly.

If you're in Newcastle on Sunday December 10th, around 2pm, you're invited to come along to the album launch at the Wetlands itself - this will be a part fundraiser for the Centre and the only cost will be their regular entry fee [$7.50 adults/$5 senior+concession.
