Thank you @qf_arttrail for sharing this image of ‘Cypress Pine’ Image: Kylie Stillman ‘Cypress Pine’ 2012 collection of Qatar Foundation installed at Sidra Medicine, Doha Repost @qf_arttrail with @get_repost ・・・ Check out our story to learn about this amazing piece by @kylie.stillman . . #kyliestillman #cyprespine #tree #nature #sculpture #wood #qatarfoundation #qf

#Repost @linden_new_art with @get_repost ・・・ We asked Kylie Stillman what she had been working on recently and what had been keeping her entertained and motivated over the recent weeks. @kylie.stillman ’s solo exhibition 'The Opposite of Wild' was shown in 2017 at Domain House in Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens, while our Acland St home was being renovated.⁠ ⁠ “Isolation for me has had me yearning for everything audio. The need to be on screens to communicate for work and learning had me reach for Bluetooth headphones and speakers and flood the house and studio with music, audio readings and conversation. Here are my three loves that are getting me through:⁠ ⁠ Dan Fox @d_a_n_f_o_x has released a makeshift audio recording of his book ‘Limbo’; the work has been great to revisit in the current climate of isolation:⁠ soundcloud.com/danfoxx/sets/dan-fox-limbo⁠ ⁠ Richard Watts, 9am - 12pm Thursday on @3rrrfm RRR Smart Arts. To be able to still hear from the Melbourne arts community has helped bring the wider world within virtual reach:⁠ rrr.org.au/explore/programs/smartarts⁠ ⁠ And for the kids (3-6 years old), I have discovered Kinderling, which plays quality kids radio programs and music all day long. ⁠ kinderling.com.au/⁠ ⁠ @kylie.stillman #MuseumFromHome #MuseumAtHome #CreativeQuarantine #Artistinisolation #Artiistsinquarntine #CovidCrafts #MuseumMomentOfZen #MuseSocial #ArtCanHelp #artistsinquarantine #PGAVgalleries #VicGalleriesFromHome #AustralianPublicGalleries

Revisiting #Limbo this weekend. Thanks @d_a_n_f_o_x for sharing the makeshift audio, such a great read.. #Repost @d_a_n_f_o_x with @get_repost ・・・ Self-isolating? Can’t look at the news? Unable to decide which Netflix show to watch? Washed your hands for the 30th time today and looking for company as you gaze into the abyss of the unknown? Perhaps I can help... #limbo #selfisolation #quarantinereading #lockdown

#Repost @rmit_art with @get_repost ・・・ Profiling the amazing female artists, photographers, academics and researchers who inspire and lead our work as an art school: With a career spanning twenty years Kylie Stillman is a Melbourne based artist who works primarily with sculptural processes. As a painting student at RMIT during the 90’s Stillman struggled to be inspired by paint found in a tube, she preferred the challenge of finding materials and pigments from the ‘real world’ to create an artwork. Best known for her book sculptures and woodcarvings, Stillman uses scalpel blades, jigsaws, sewing materials and drills to alter objects and create negative spaces that depict ‘signs of life’. Birds, plant life and the artist’s own scribbles are frequently used as subject matter. Currently Kylie is currently a sessional lecturer in the painting department at RMIT and is working towards her major solo exhibition to be held at Town Hall Gallery, Hawthorn July 2020 Instagram @kylie.stillman Website ‪www.kyliestillman.com‬ Facebook ‪www.facebook.com/kylie.stillman.artist/‬ Twitter ‪https://twitter.com/Kylie_Stillman‬ Image: Kylie Stillman, 'Red Maple' 2007 200 sheets of hand-cut plywood 300 x 240 x 120 cm Installation image from Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art February 2008 Art Gallery of South Australia #INTERNATIONALWOMENSDAY #KNOWMYNAME #RMITART #WOMENARTISTS @townhallgallery @utopiaartsydney @agsa.adelaide

#Repost @hg_hamilton with @get_repost ・・・ “The title ‘Masking the Seam’ came from reading ‘Cloth Lullaby - The woven life of Louise Bourgeois’ by Amy Novesky in the book it talks about Bourgeois family background in textiles and the act of working with cloth scraps ‘Two halves of a cloth would find their way back together again ‘rentrayage’ - to reweave across the cut. To make whole.’ The literal french translation of this is to mask the seam, which for Kylie talks a lot about how she values the way things are made, evidence in their construction and means of repairing them.” - Kylie Stillman @kylie.stillman • ‘A Stitch in Time’ is currently on exhibition @HG_Hamilton. • Image: Kylie Stillman MASKING THE SEAM 2017 Hand cut paperback books, timber shelves, sawhorse and ladder 182 x 144 x 80 cm Kylie Stillman is represented by Utopia Art @utopiaartsydney, Sydney #exhibition #stitch #installation #artgallery

A Stitch in Time : Opening celebration 3pm today @hg_hamilton Maudie Palmer will lead artists Fiona Abicare, Marion Manifold and Kylie Stillman in a floor talk conversation to launch this exhibition. 30 November - 16 February 2020 Hamilton Gallery Artists: Fiona Abicare, Vicki Couzens, Marion Manifold, Sanné Mestrom, Sally Smart, Kylie Stillman, Louise Weaver Curated by Maudie Palmer AO and Eugene Howard A Stitch in Time brings together the work of seven prominent, contemporary Australian artists, each working across a broad range of media from painting, sculpture and printmaking, to design and installation. These artists are unified by a shared interest in working with an array of traditionally craft-related techniques. Predominantly classified as an ‘inferior art’ in Western history, the elevation of craft as a ‘high art’ and the recognition of women artists has been inextricably linked.

#Repost @hg_hamilton with @get_repost ・・・ ‘A Stitch in Time’ will be on exhibition @hg_hamilton from 30 November 2019. • ‘A Stitch in Time’ brings together the work of seven prominent, contemporary Australian artists, each working across a broad range of media from painting, sculpture and printmaking, to design and installation. These artists are unified by a shared interest in working with an array of traditionally craft-related techniques. Predominantly classified as an ‘inferior art’ in Western history, the elevation of craft as a ‘high art’ and the recognition of women artists has been inextricably linked. Today, craft practices sit resolutely within contemporary art, imbued with consequential cultural and political power. ‘A Stitch in Time’ presents artists who skilfully enfold a myriad of techniques and processes into works of profound potency. • Curated by Maudie Palmer AO and Eugene Howard #exhibition #painting #sculpture #print #design #installation #AStitchInTime
