Friday 9 August - Sunday 1 September 2024

Opening Thursday 8 August 2024, 6pm - 8pm

Lynne Flemons is a painter, bookmaker and mix media artist. She makes drawings, watercolours and acrylic paintings inspired by natural environments and cultural heritage sites.  She uses en plein air drawings from the environments she is inspired by and makes these into artist books and paintings. Lynne's recent artist book Carousel is inspired by a trip last year. The form of the book echoes her recent experiences with windmills and paddle steamers:

     Last year, at Echuca, she took a ride on The Canberra, a beautiful old paddle steamer  and worked in watercolours around the Upper Murray area near Walwa. 

  The book form allows for multiple views at one time, and takes the original watercolour drawing into a new world of folded and abstracted landscapes reminiscent of her time away.

About Chutespace

In November 2013 the former Griffith Library after-hours book-returns chute was transformed by Jeffree Skewes and Kerry Shepherdson, into a distinctive miniature exhibition space named CHUTESPACE.

CHUTESPACE is an artist run initiative and continues to be voluntarily curated and managed. Artists of all genres can apply for an exhibition.

Mini exhibitions are featured for four-week periods in line with the M16 main gallery exhibition periods. 

All artist proposals are considered, and exhibitions are free to the artist.
