“Rocks” at Red Tree Gallery
1 min read

An exhibition of work created by local artist Joan Price is currently on display at the Red Tree Gallery in Jindivick.
Titled "Rocks", the exhibition has a double meaning. A portion of the works are inspired by rocks in the natural landscape, while others are influenced by Joan's love of rock music.
"There's a bit of a double meaning there!" Joan said.
"I'm very influenced by Wilson's Prom, I've been camping down there every Easter for over 40 years and I love the rocks, so that's the subject of some of the work. Some of the other (works) are to do with my love of rock music!"
One of the pieces in the exhibition is influenced by the song "Motherless" by Chocolate Starfish.
Some other pieces are inspired by Australian glam rock band "Sisters Doll", including a collage of the band members in the style of handmade paper dolls. Another artwork inspired by the band is a large dollhouse made out of textiles.
"They have a song called "Dollhouse" so what I've done is made a dollhouse out of material!" Joan said.
"At the beginning of the song it says "Are you ready to play?", so I've put that on a piece of material in front of a table. Then on the table is material that people who visit the exhibition can use to make paper dolls and add them to the doll's house."
Another interactive element in Joan's exhibition encourages visitors to create their own artwork.
"There's three pieces that have knitting that's stuck onto backing and then there's rocks that have got Velcro (on them) so you can move the rocks around and make your own own artwork," she said. "I encourage people to put them on, take a photo of what they've made and then let the next person do it."
The exhibition also includes the "Naughty Corner". Something she's included in previous exhibitions, the "Naughty Corner" features a variety of swear words that have been embroidered onto doilies and backed onto canvas.
Joan's exhibition will remain on display at the Red Tree Gallery until Wednesday, October 29.
