Feature Artist - Kate Dunn



In 2002 Kate Dunn and I both travelled to Chicago for SOFA (sculpture objects and functional art exposition) where we were both exhibiting new work with Australian galleries. We had met in Sydney before but developed our friendship during our short but hectic time in the windy city. Days were spent at SOFA and nights were spent socialising with international artists, curators and gallery owners - and of course listening to Chicago blues!

Kate is currently working towards her Masters of Fine Arts at Sydney College of the Arts, where she is also a casual lecturer in the Ceramics Studio.

I look forward to presenting her new work at Cudgegong Gallery in September.

Carlie Morris - feature artist



Carlie Morris is like a bower bird collecting bits and pieces to incorporate into her jewellery designs. Combining found tit-bits, silver and a good dose of flair she creates gorgeous wearables. Carlie studied at Enmore Design Centre and continues to juggle her jewellery practice and two young children.

Carlie has created a collection of wooden brooches which will be exhibited at Cudgegong Gallery, I look forward to presenting her new work in Places & Spaces.

A favourite place: my favourite place is in the water, preferably a natural source, and even more preferably with my two boys climbing over me and my dog nearby chasing the splashes.

A place you would like to spend more time: see above, a close second would be New York City.

A place in the world you would like to visit: Oh the world is such a big place! I think Denmark might please all at the moment, all that marimekko and lego.
