Obsessed: Compelled to make

‘Obsessed: Compelled to make’ showcases textiles, ceramics, furniture, metalwork, jewellery, conceptual art, glass blowing and sculptural weaving, inspired by the preoccupations that drive one’s artistic obsession within the creative process. The exhibition looks beyond the finished artwork to tell the hidden stories of artmaking and uncovers the artist’s inspirations, the complexities of materials used, daily studio experiences and all the associated angst, failures, breakthroughs and milestones, that feed their productivity and deliver exceptional outcomes.

Artists include Gabriella Bisetto, Lorraine Connelly-Northey, Honor Freeman, Jon Goulder, Kath Inglis, Laura McCusker, Elliat Rich and James B Young (Elbowrkshp), Kate Rohde, Oliver Smith, Vipoo Srivilasa, Tjunkaya Tapaya, Louise Weaver, Liz Williamson, and Greg Daly (Cowra Regional Art Gallery guest artist).

‘Obsessed: Compelled to make’ is an Australian Design Centre of ADC on Tour exhibition touring to venues across Australia, accompanied by a series of films and a full-length catalogue.
