Selwyn Shines

Saturday, October 21st, 2006

Master of Fine Art and Design candidate, and HIP member, Selwyn Stein presented the results of his three year investigation in print into the interaction between water movement and light at a stunnig exhibition in the Fine Arts Gallery at the University of Tasmania this week.

Selwyn’s major work consists of a muiltitude of layered prints which, using the mediums of woodcut and collograph and a palette which ranges from greys through  vibrant blues and reds evokes the many moods and patterns which are familiar and yet draw us into their continual shift and movement.

Light boxes and single prints

Other pieces used a more subtle palette and explored different patterns and mediums of presentation that ranged from light boxes to video projection. An exciting visual representation of what has obviously been an extraordinary journey for this printmaker.
Congratulation Selwyn and thanks for sharing this with us.

Exhibition Opening

Monday, October 9th, 2006

There was a good crowd pressed into the Morning Toast Gallery as Susan Pickering outlined the depth of community spirit and dedication Hunter Island Press has gathered together to achieve the goals of opening a community studio in the near future.

On show is the book which was produced during the Living Artist Week in August this year. Each page is a print produced in response to a line of text put forward by the Eastern Shore Writers. This was the first time some of us, including me, have had the chance to see the finished book, and it was worth taking a trip down to near the lovely Huon River to see it.

Morning Toast Gallery is at Glaziers Bay, at 156 Graces Road, about 45 minutes drive from Hobart.
