Hands on Studio
Friday 8 July - Sunday 24 July 2022
All of US! Brings together the stories from artists at Hands On Studio.
Founded in 1996, Hands On Studio has become a leader in the field of arts and disabilities in the Canberra region, establishing a model for a creative community guided by the principle that art is fundamental to human expression and that all people are entitled to its tools of communication.
Using favoured mediums and methods each artist from Hands On Studio has illustrated a part of themselves by exploring their individual relationships with the physical and virtual worlds. Some of the artists have chosen to create their work following traditional portraiture methods and others have chosen to tell their story through abstract mark making and use of colour.
The ages of the artists range from 19-94, a very broad cohort with different life experiences along with varying wants, needs, and desires which relate to their practice.
βAll of US!β documents and explores different forms of individual and community uniqueness and ways in which we can perceive society and question the social ideas which form our identity.
