About this Event

Join us for a dynamic conversation with Geelong Gallery Director & CEO, Jason Smith, and Melbourne-based artist, Louise Saxton, as they discuss her practice and new self-published monograph LOUISE SAXTON cut & pinned. Louise Saxton creates complex assemblages repurposing discarded materials, transforming antique and vintage needlework into contemporary works of art. Saxton’s recently acquired work REST—the sleeping hermaphrodite (2018-21) is displayed in The Sweet Spot—Between Art & Design.
