Another Look continues Town Hall Gallery’s commitment to artist commissions, inviting contemporary artists to produce new work inspired by the Town Hall Gallery Collection. The 5 artists to be awarded the commission are dana harris, Siri Hayes, Vivian Cooper Smith, Tai Snaith, and Kylie Stillman. Driven by research into the Collection’s history and the many artworks and objects that make it up, these artists have been spending time getting to know The Collection in order to find aspects and elements that will drive their contemporary responses. Another Look promises to deliver new ways of seeing historical works and cultural objects. The result is an exhibition featuring items from the Town Hall Gallery Collection alongside the new works they inspired.
My work, 'Head of a woman' involved a series of wall-based and table top assembled ceramic works responding to the paintings in the collection by Melbourne painter and icon Helen Maudsley.
