An astounding retrospective of a major artist's work. I knew of some of Bronwyn Oliver's work in particular the work 'Iris' which was (and happily still is) part of the State Craft Collection and pictured below. This exhibition also presents early pre-copperwire cane, paper and fibre glass sculptures. Wonderfully curated by Julie Ewington, this is the first
comprehensive survey of 50 key works, from the mid-1980s to the final
solo exhibition in 2006. Thanks to TarraWarra for the breadth of work. I treasured the opportunity to concentrate on the many different repetitive patterns and textures created by Oliver with wire.
