Fertile Ground is a solo exhibition by Canberra based textile artist Julie Ryder.  This exhibition consists of new and existing works that use natural materials for their creation and inception.  Plant extracts have been used as dyes and watercolours for paper and textiles; pollens, volcanic ash and ochres have been used in screen-printed images; and natural materials such as leaves, thorns and bones are used to create exquisite works on paper. Photomicrographs of plants and insects gathered during residencies at the ANBG and CSIRO have been digitally manipulated to form strange new species of the future. Read More

Julie Ryder – MOAD Artist Statement

I was inspired to create ‘Political Cover-up’ by imagining who would be using the chaise-longue and under what circumstances.  Mental images of tired politicians and their staff grabbing a quick nap during late-night sittings inspired the form of the blanket and floor rug. The patch-work blanket of original pre-1988 newspaper political articles can be viewed as an object that covers or protects the person on the chaise-longue. Alternatively, it can be seen as a journalistic “cover-up” – hiding the truth beneath or within it. The hand-embroidery is a metaphor for “embellishing a story”, as in journalism, or as “embroidering the truth”, as practised by unscrupulous politicians.

Similarly, the small floor rug, ‘Spin’ refers to the way selective information can be “swept under the rug” and the cut paper reminds us that what is published is not always the whole truth, or in the order that it is presented.

The use of newspaper as a blanket or covering was a practice often adopted by the homeless and down-and-out or those with limited resources in challenging conditions.  Paper has also been used traditionally in quilt-making as templates for pieced quilts – often old letters or newspapers were used because they were not precious materials and were immediately to hand in the domestic environment.

Natural Wonders, natural dyes on paper and textiles by Julie Ryder.

Natural Wonders is a mixed media exhibition consisting of works on paper and naturally dyed and stitched textiles derived and inspired by organic materials drawn and collected from sites that hold personal significance for the artist. Her daily journey from home to studio, and the many bush and urban walks she takes have inspired her to look at the native and introduced flora of Canberra, delving into its history to determine the impact that white settlement and the urbanisation of this designed city had on the traditional lands of the Ngunnawal. Textiles have been dyed with plants from specific sites, during specific seasons of the year to build up a colour profile of the territory, and showcase the beauty to be found within.

Gallery Hours: Thursday-Sunday, 11-5pm.
Opening Night: Thursday 23rd October, 6pm.
