GODDESSES
12 – 22 February 2025
A group of Year 9 and Year 12 students were inspired by the textile artists Anne Kelly, Caitlin Hinshelwood and Marion Elliot to produce some large textile hangings on the theme of Goddesses, which is our new school House system. Students worked in groups to research the narrative story of their chosen goddess to find symbols and figures, and some produced tableaux vivants of their goddess stories. The final hangings show a combination of techniques, including fabric appliqué using hand-painted and recycled fabric combined with stitch, embroidery and screen-printing.
Invitation Join us for the opening on Saturday 15 February 10:30 – 12:30

The Hanging Gardens of Kaleidoscope our 2024 SVAF Community Project was inspired by
the Jungle paintings of Henry Rousseau. The community has been enthralled by this project and
our thanks go to everyone who has contributed plants, flowers, insects, snakes, animals, birds etc.
The workshops were enthusiastically attended by many families. We owe a big thank you to
lead artists Sarah Cliff and Sue Evans who worked tirelessly with this public facing project
