If you did not get a chance to attend the opening night for 'Mamas in the Hood' then you missed titillation of all the senses. It had a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere and was engaging the audience on varied levels. Anita West gave an insightful presentation about her personal experience of combining motherhood and a successful arts career.
All the works, whilst visually unique seemed to be connected through an underlying sense of movement.
Sandra Landolt's work is playful and her kinetic and video works allowed the audience to connect with the busy-ness and overwhelm that motherhood can encompass.
Candice Herne's collaborative work involved here local artistic community of Montville/Maleny in creating a joyous mobile like installation that invites audience participation and personal reflections on motherhood.
Katrina Stirling's work reflects a personal journey and her connection to nature and family. Using bed sheets and linen that is rusted and stained she imbues her personal thoughts and experiences using images and text.
Chrys Zantis' work is intriguing and sophisticated in its conceptual messages and quite mesmerizing with spinning disco ball bouncing patterns off walls not to mentioned the saucy burlesque performance that had every ones attention as the evening came to an end.
So, if you did not get a chance to attend, there is still time. The exhibition is on until the 5th of November and offer presentations and activities to visitors.
