RAGGED & TAGGED & FLAGGED: Caroline Chisholm, Domesticity and the Victorian Goldfields

Art is not a luxury. It reflects the soul of humanity. Art evidences spirituality which reveals the soul. When craft disappears, history disappears with it.

Dr Flossie Peitsch’s solo exhibition of inventive installation Fibre Art.

Have you ever wondered what happens to unfinished craftwork? Does it lie forever wasting away, neglected in some opshop? Not if Flossie finds it!

Dr Flossie Peitsch, a Maryborough local, reclaims those handwork foundlings and transforms them into fine art. Her self-set task is to alter the textiles as little as possible when making her fibre art treasures. She ponders over discarded materials, then cuts, curls, adds buttons, braid, and other oddments, allowing the art to emerge in its own way. Creatives understand this process. Everyone else may need to be convinced.

The outcome is funky, fantastic though formidable, fun. Come and see RAGGED & TAGGED & FLAGGED for yourself.

Free Artist Talk Saturday 8 August
Hear from Dr Flossie Pietsch about the exhibition and her creative practice.
