Particular favourites where the Hotham Street Ladies Dark Tea (2015, below) made of royal icing, butter cream icing, fondant, food dye, and found objects the many sculptural objects which form the backbone of the exhibition, especially the work of Sharon West and Penny Byrne and the wonderful vintage photographs that are displayed in the foyer of the gallery.Īccompanying this exhibition is another excellent exhibition, Ways to draw: A selection from the permanent collection by Betty Churcher, on till 27th September as well.

Congratulations must go to the curators and artists for their efforts.

Nothing is superfluous, every work having something interesting to say, whether it is about the ceremony of tea drinking, colonisation, global warming, Stolen Generations or social mores. This is the best thematic group exhibition I have seen in Melbourne and surrounds this year.Įvery piece in the exhibition is visually stimulating and intelligently constructed, all works combining to make an engaging exhibition.
