INSCRIPTION AND PLACE
TMAG, UNTIL SUNDAY, OCTOBER 22 This poetic exploration of place, family and objects is told through contemporary jewellery by four Tasmanian jewellers: Alex Parish, Sarah Jones/Stubbs, Janine Combes and Sophie Carnell. Using a range of materials and techniques, the works contextualise Hobart’s history through their interpretation of items. All are from the Baldwin Collection, the largest single donation to the museum (featuring jewellery, diaries and domestic objects), which frames the lives of the women from two of colonial Hobart’s leading families, the Manings and the Knights. Free exhibition. For details, visit tmag.tas.gov.au/whats_on
TREELINES
LADY JANE FRANKLIN GALLERY, OPENING NIGHT FRIDAY, 6PM This exhibition shows interpretations of treelines by artists from the Tasmanian Art Society. Along with more traditional watercolours – by artists such as Jenny Miller – and oil paintings, there will also be more representational art, 3D works and pieces by fabric artists. The response to the theme of “treelines”, including a piece on family treelines, is as diverse as the submitting artists. A Paul Boam work will be on display and all artworks are for sale. On show weekends from 11am-4pm, until Sunday, July 30. Visit artstas.com.au
IN-HOUSE
