A TOUCH OF GLASS PAGE 3 Jenny’s mosaic challenge brings out the best at Murwillumbah Art Trail 2018 Last month, Guild member and Tweed Valley artist, Jenny Sayer, issued a unique challenge to mosaicists in Queensland and northern New South Wales. The assignment - in conjunction with the 2018 Murwillumbah Art Trail - was to create a mosaic interpretation of one of Jenny’s Above: Jenny Sayer’s original Above: The winner: Catherine paintings (above left) which painting of Sisters Beach, Conaty’s outstanding ‘A Sparkly Tasmania—the subject of the depicted a coastal scene located Day at the Beach’. mosaic challenge at Sisters Beach in the Rocky Cape National Park region of Below: Kay Neilsen’s Below: Jenny Sayer’s ‘Low Tide’ north-west Tasmania. ‘Dreamtime Beach’ All up, eight mosaicists, includ- ing Jenny - took up the challenge, and the original artworks that resulted were as varied as they were innovative. The winner – as judged by Murwillumbah Art Trail visitors over a 10 day period – was our very own Catherine Conaty, whose entry ‘A Sparkly Day at the Beach’, (above right) featured a selection of iridescent, opalescent and tempered glass to recreate a sparkling coastal scene. Illustrated on this page and page 4 are Jenny Sayer’s original painting, along with the eight mosaic creations. A TOUCH OF GLASS PAGE 4 More mosaics from the Art Trail Challenge What a spectacular mixture this challenge produced! Coordinator Jenny Sayer explained that because all entries were forms of mosaic, the majority used cut glass. But other materials included broken car glass, fused glass, wire, shell grit and sand, stones, shells, glass frit and in the case of ‘Treasure Beach’, jewellery, hessian, paint and crockery. Catherine Conaty, who created the winning entry, borrowed John Sollinger’s signature fluid double reverse technique to create realism in her work. To produce ‘sparkly’ water, Catherine sourced windscreen glass from a wrecker’s yard.

Vince Dziekan Position Statement Monash University In response to the call to “address the emerging context, which acknowledges that in recent years, media and information-technology shifts have changed the cultural landscape of design and designing”, this paper will contribute to the discourse of design’s fluid interrelationship with cultural activity and production by focussing on the resulting formation of art, new technology and the design of its institutions. If art since the advent of Modernism can be characterized by any single quality it would have to be its diversity… however, across the breadth of such aesthetic and stylistic difference remains its common, primary destination: the Museum.

Council is required to prepare and adopt a Council Plan every four years. It’s an important document that outlines the vision for the four year term of the Council and includes the objectives, strategies and actions which need to be implemented and undertaken to ensure this vision is realised. The 2021- 2025 Council Plan will be guided by the work already undertaken in the development of the 2041 community vision framework, which is the longer term strategic plan for the next 20 years. There will be a number of opportunities for community members to contribute their idea to the 2021-2025 Council Plan, says Southern Grampian Shire Council Mayor Bruach Colliton. “Community members will be able to participate in the planning process in a number of ways including joining virtual sessions, filling in postcards and submitting online forms. Face-to-face gatherings have also been planned, with every township having the opportunity to meet the Mayor, CEO and Councillors to share their vision for the next four years,” Cr Colliton said. “In developing our last Council Plan, these community sessions were really beneficial and Council was able to get a solid understanding of the things our residents wanted Council to focus on.

While the current lockdown meant that RSL could not conduct the usual dawn service at the Cenotaph on Bell Street, at dawn this year a small service was conducted personally by the RSL President at the Cenotaph and wreaths were laid here and at the memorial in the Avenue of Honour on the road to Hamilton. Councillor Cathy Armstrong laid a wreath on the cenotaph later in the morning on behalf of the Southern Grampians Shire Council. It was also pleasing to note that a good number of residents conducted their own driveway services at dawn as had been recommended by the National Office of the RSL. A wreath was laid on the memorial at the start of the Avenue of Honour The Cenotaph on the roundabout in Bell Street showing the flag at half mast and the Wreaths laid earlier in the morning Wreaths and candles at the base of the Cenotaph.

    Queensland’s Southern Outback & Silo Art Adventure With Trade Travel 10 Days / 9 Nights Tour Departs: Monday 16 August - Wednesday 25 August 2021 Day 1. Mon 16 Aug: Brisbane - Yelarbon - Thallon - St George Lunch & Dinner Today we begin our Southern Outback and Silo Art adventure as we head across to St George stopping along the way at Warwick, Yelarbon and Thallon. We travel south-west to the Rose and Rodeo township of Warwick for a nice country cuppa before continuing through Inglewood and onto the small township of Yelarbon to see the Graincorp Silo’s – named “When the rain comes”. It depicts a young boy at play, cooling off in the Yelarbon Lagoon. Hear the story as we marvel at such a unique set of silos. The artwork was created by Jordache Castillejos and Jordon Bruce of Brightsiders and Steve Falco from Procreative. We then head to the Oasis Hotel to enjoy lunch before travelling through Goondiwindi to our next stop on the silo trail, Thallon. The giant grain silo’s feature the spectacular “Watering Hole” mural painted in July 2017. Enjoy the magnificent artwork from the viewing platform before a quick stop at the Giant Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat statue. The last leg of the journey allows us to visit Nindigully Pub known as “The Gully” situated right on the banks of the Moonie River and established in 1864. We arrive in St George and settle in before dinner is served in the motel restaurant. Overnight St George: Riverland Motor Inn Day 2.
