When Wise Women Whisper

When Wise Women Whisper

Katrina Elliott

Exhibition dates: 1st August – 30th September 2020
Location: Biloela Hospital, QLD

I’ve been drawing imaginary women for years – ever since I decided anyone calling themselves an artist really
couldn’t claim not to be able to draw a face. These women are imagined, not intended to portray anyone one in
particular, but rather to give life to an idea or a possibility. They always seem to have a look about them suggesting
that if they were to speak, it would be worth listening to. Combining my passion for catching poems with my love for
bringing these characters to life, the poems are an attempt to share the wisdom that looks ready to spoken.

Scanning the QR code beside each poem with your smartphone will take you to a recording I made just for you to
listen to the poem being read.

An exploration of cultural connection to land while in isolation. I am a Aborignial, Torres Strait and South Sea Islander woman. I have strong connection between the sea the rainforest and the bush. I have been inspired by the colours of those environments. Through out this project I have used art as away to reground myself and focus on my wellbeing. Working and creating amidst the global pandemic of COVID-19 and with the travel restrictions from community and family retaining my connection to country has been really important to me.

Grounded Exhibition – Community photography exhibition

Hint 2. B&W or Colour

Katrina Elliott

GROUNDED Exhibition

This is a great debate and often it’s a personal preference. How I choose is often drawn by the type of emotion I want the viewer to feel.
Colour can sometimes be distracting and if you take that away then people are more likely to be drawn to the emotion on the image. If it is loud and energizing, I want the view to feel I may be drawn more to colour.
Which one would you pick in this case, Colour or B&W?

The Biloela Hospital Bottle Tree 
Acrylic on canvas 
 
This painting was donated by Frances Jameson  
and her daughter Megan Campbell

The bottle was planted by Arnie Timm and Albert (Bert) Poole in 1931. They were both gardeners at the Biloela Hospital at the time. The tree was planted just after the Biloela Hospital opened. The tree was 88 years old when it had to be removed due to structural issues. It had developed a large crack in the top and several limbs had to be removed. When the tree was cut down it was found to be rotten the middle the entire length of the tree.   A new bottle tree has been planted directly opposite from the old one in 2011. This tree is a direct descendant, seeds were collected from the old tree and nurtured in the hospital green house. The new tree was planted by the Boal Family who are Arnie Timm’s descendants.
