Australian art and fashion icons unite for new exhibition
Where did the idea for this exhibition come from?
Relocating to Warrnambool, I began to research the region’s rich and complex cultural and artistic history. I became aware leading Australian designer Lisa Gorman is from Warrnambool, and, although she no longer resides in the city, she still maintains a strong connection to the region.
When Lisa departed as Creative Director of the Gorman label and began focusing upon her visual practice, I reached out to her, and we began a suite of wonderful conversations. During her time at the helm of Gorman, the label established itself as the master of collaboration, working with over 120 artists, designers, private organisations and public institutions to re-materialise art and design into textile and fashion collections. So, for me, collaboration needed to be at the heart of this exhibition.

Female artists practising in a variety of mediums and approaches will be displaying their work in response to this year’s brief: “What does faith mean to you as a woman?”.
