THE SPACE BETWEEN -
GREY BOX IN WINTER #3
©2016 Jenny Bacon
Maryborough VIC

Price: NFS

Statement: In the dry box/ironbark forests it is the space between the trunks that interests me. In winter there is little colour as the spaces stand out in moonlight or mist.

FOREST BREEZE - Moonlight
©2016 Linda Balding
North Nowra NSW

Price: A$180

Statement: Part of a series of works inspired by the bushland that I live in on the NSW South Coast. I am fascinated by the variety of colours in the eucalypt leaves and the effects of light and shadow on the leaves. This work explores the moonlight shining through the leaves.

Photographer: Mary Preece

FOREST PANSY
©2016 Carolyn Collins

©2016 Dianne Firth
Turner ACT

©2016 Alvena Hall
West Lakes WA

Price: A$450

TWO LITTLE CHAIRS
©2016 Linden Lancaster

Statement: Magpies are a constant source of entertainment as I watch them from my kitchen windows.

Photographer: Andy Payne

FEATHERING THE NEST #8 - NODDER'S SWAN
©2016 Jan Mullen
North Fremantle WA

Price: A$300

Statement: Exploration to new countries offered new sights and tastes. Our black swans were certainly a fascination. Exploration was the search for glory and goods - feathering the nests and coffers of adventurous countries. We also feather our nests but often our feathering is merely the re-invigoration of a room.

IRIS
© 2016 Beth & Trevor Reid
Gowrie ACT

Price: A$350

The process of conveying an image to art work is one of the most important parts of creating a satisfying piece. The flow from the mind through the hand to fabric, conveying the essence of the image rather than botanical accuracy is the intention here

TELLINGS SECRETS II
©2016 Jill Rumble
Brookvale NSW

Price: A$150 SOLD

Statement: Inspired from a quote from Peter Mulvey "and the leaves were telling secrets to the wind" had me wondering if that was possible. The hand stitching is to indicate the way that the wind can swirl around - maybe telling secrets as it passes by.

Photographer: Eduard Baldizan

COOPED UP
©2016 Kerryn Taylor
Wangaratta VIC

Price: A$300

STARK GUMNUTS

THE DREAM
© 2016 Alison Withers
Warnambool VIC

Price: A$350

Statement: With Australian housing now among the most expensive in the world and job security declining as the national economy restructures, the notion of a detached home on your own patch of paradise that can be made your own may soon be nothing more than a dream.

THE HUNT
© 2016 Alison Withers
Warnambool VIC

Price: A$320

Statement:With a list of preferred locations and essential features in their artillery, first home buyers scour the internet, attend inspections and auctions, attempting to outbid and outsmart the competition. An all-encompassing, sometimes fruitless and tiresome task – all in the pursuit of security, community and stability: The Great Australian Dream.

TIN ROOF-RUSTED
© 2016 Rebecca Wolske
Boronia VIC

Price: A$425

Statement: Rust is such a beautiful thing, It comes in a rainbow of colours, eventually turning to a deep burgundy. It bubbles and cracks, disintegrates and blisters, looking like glittering jewels sprinkled across a Roof in full rusting glory, munching and devouring all metal within its path.

A BLOOMIN' ACCIDENT
©2016 Brenda Wood
Scarborough QLD

Price: A$390

Statement:The process of art can get messy. Sometimes a messy procedure allows for avenues of output that veer from the original plan. A bloomin' accident came to life within another project. Plant matter still adheres to the surface adding unexpected tactile elements. The accident now more interesting than the original.

Ode to Banksias by Susan Mathews
ODE TO BANKSIA #6
©2016 Susan Mathews
Ocean Grove, VIC

Price: A$450

Statement: This series expresses my absolute delight in and love of all types of banksias. These amazing plants supply me with an endless source of pattern and design. They are the latest in a large series of works around banksias. My palette has changed gradually over the four years since I moved to the coast an is, I believe, now expressing the happiness I feel every day in living here.

Juror Invitational

SEVERE WEATHER EVENT
©2016 Clare Smith
Wellington, New Zealand

Price: A$350

Statement:I live in Wellington, New Zealand. Last year, my suburb was flooded after torrential rain in what was labelled “a 50 year event”. We seem to be getting a lot more of those “50 year events” these days.

Art Quilt Australia , including Expressions: the W Art Quilt Australia , including Expressions: the Wool Quilt Prize, is a biennial juried exhibition open to textile artists resident in Australia and New Zealand, and OZQN members worldwide. OZQN defines a quilt as a stitched layered textile incorporating any material and employing any technique. The National Wool Museum defines a wool quilt in a similar manner but it must be composed predominantly of wool.

Art Quilt Australia 2021 seeks to promote excellence and originality in contemporary art quilts in Australia. Works will be assessed in terms of originality, composition, content and execution by a jury of acknowledged experts: Lisa Call, Julie Ryder and Bronwyn Coulston.

There will be over $6000 in prizes, comprising:

$3000 for Expressions: the Wool Quilt Prize, for a wool quilt. The winning quilt is acquired by the National Wool Museum for its permanent collection;
$3000 for the non-acquisitive OZQN Award of Excellence, which is open to all quilts; and
$500 awards for Highly Commended in both categories.
Art Quilt Australia 2021 will be on exhibition at the Shoalhaven Regional Gallery at Nowra NSW from 12 June until 3 July 2021, followed by the Yarra Ranges Regional Museum at Lilydale, Victoria from 7 August until 31 October 2021.

Entries close at 5pm (Perth time) on Friday 30 April 2021. Submission is via the online entry form only.
