Either/Or - Meeniyan Art Gallery, Meeniyan February -March 2022
An exhibition with Sandra Tobias. Textiles and drawings. Deb K Williams responds to the connection between various textile processes and drawing, and the contemplative, meditative nature of these activities. Using graphite, natural dyes, inks, acrylics and collaged felt, silk and cotton, the works reflect an interest in hybrid forms and more broadly the delights and strangeness of the natural world. Much of the work attempts to evoke the forms and textures of nature and increasingly issues of sustainability, ecology and inter-connectedness are examined. The embroidered ‘maps’ reflect upon the increasingly dense and vaguely toxic urban environments of inner cities, where the routes to greener spaces are ever diminishing but increasingly necessary. The graphite drawings form part of a larger body of work that reinterprets a personal archive of actual and imagined landscape images. They are maps of imaginary but familiar worlds and respond to memory, atmosphere and place.
Slow Territory - Rubicon ARI, North Melbourne
Slow Territory responds to the connection between stitching, weaving and drawing, and the contemplative, meditative nature of these activities. Using natural dyes, inks, acrylics, and collaged felt, silk and cotton, the works respond to a range of natural processes such as the cycle of rehydration and evaporation found within salt lakes, tidal drawings of bush fire ash on coastal areas and verdant growth on lava rocks. Notions of distilling an atmosphere of place are explored and the works form a map of remembrance and meditative intent.
