Exhibition: Barely Wearable and Re|Purpose

Exhibition: Barely Wearable and Re|Purpose

Exhibition runs 6 December 2024 - 9 February 2025 Saturday 25 January 2025 Free

Event details

About Barely Wearable:
Barely Wearable continues Ruth Downes’ passion for reappropriating everyday materials and objects to celebrate their intrinsic beauty. Materials for these ‘wearable’ artworks have been gleaned from a diverse range of sources – from aircraft headsets to coffee capsules. Detritus from nature has also been salvaged to be re-born as a fashion statement.
By reimagining these materials, Downes’ has created works that transcend their utilitarian function, casting them in a fresh light. The works question our accepted values and how we award status by projecting these everyday materials into the realm of art.

About Re|Purpose:
Some of the most fascinating objects in our Museum have stories that are a little unexpected. These objects don’t tell us stories about important historical events, they tell us about the everyday lives of people and the clever and sometimes humorous way they ‘made do’ – recycling, upcycling and repurposing old materials and objects into something new and useful once more.
RE|PURPOSE is an exhibition of objects sourced from the collection of Hawkesbury Regional Museum installed alongside wall drawings by Dan Kyle and Jennifer Brady.

Image details: (left) Ruth Downes, Caffeinated, 2020, used coffee pods, neoprene. Image courtesy of the artist.
