2–3 PM SUNDAY 10 MAY—ARTIST TALK BY SUZANNE BELLAMY
FyreGallery: 84 Wallace St Braidwood: 0248421142
All Welcome – Bring your Own Chair – Prepare to be Inspired
Suzanne will be talking about the images she has created for the show in the context of her 30 year association with New Mexico.She says " Sometimes you have to go away from your own land to come home with signs and gateways to what it is that is your own work. The combination of the astronomical, archaeological and mystical, grounded in mud and earth and the creative is a rare thrill. Through my encounter with O’Keeffe and New Mexico, I found something of a model of how to live on land suffused with ancient cultures, living thriving indigenous traditions and eccentric individual artists. It is a border country between cultures in time, and a space in the sky. This was a perfect counter-point for an Australian woman artist living in troubled times."
Come and hear Suzanne on 10 May. I know you will be inspired.
A limited number of Illustrated catalogues are still available for $25. See the Exhibitions sections.
4–6 PM MONDAY 18 MAY—CLOSING PARTY FOR UNDER NEW MEXICO SKIES

New FyreGallery Exhibition
“WOMAN”: Works on Paper by and about women, woodblock and screen prints, etchings, drypoint and lithographs. Exhibition Dates Friday 14 November–Monday 22 December 2008. Almost thirty years ago Germaine Greer’s “Obstacle Race” on the fortune of women artists and their work concluded that there are more warring elements in women’s work than men’s and “when we learn to read them we find that the evidence of battle is interesting and moving.” Three decades on questions about the art of women still perplex and challenge the viewer. more information...
