ch-alice art gallery april 2025
Antonia at Ch-alice Gallery, in Sudbury, uses the full moon for private views. April’s moon is called the pink moon. In 2025, the April full moon landed on the 13th. Concurrent in the shop were semi-precious stones and crystals which helped inform the choice of work presented. Some geometric drawings done in 2020 felt appropriate to sit with the stones, as well as more recent pieces.

It was when the petrified wood was placed next to ‘ancestor’ drawings that I realised that they were ancestor drawings.

communal painting
While the show was at ch-alice gallery I invited the public to join in painting a communal canvas. It was such a pleasure to see people adding to it. I love the art work of the Australian First Nations people, it inspires to see how they gather together in creativity, there’s so much for us to learn from them. My heart skips when I see folk sitting together around a painting or something creative, working together.
