Ate Hours + 32 Years

an exhibition by four former printmakers, now well armed by life
Held at One Star Lounge and Gallery
301-303 Victoria Street, West Melbourne/Naarm.
July/August 2025.
With artists @jmaybe.art @sueysezno @geewizz20 @tiffanytitshall
Georgie Green - sculptures
Joelle Mayberry - sculptures
Sue-anne McCarthy - prints
Tiffany Titshall - drawings

After decades of creation, conversation, and dark humour, four artists reunite—not just as former printmakers, but as women shaped by living.

Ate Hours + 32 Years is a powerful reflection on so-called “women’s business,” identity, and the enduring force of creative will.
Through mixed media, remnants of print, personal archives, and newly forged works, the exhibition explores what it means to carry art as armour.

These works are both weapons and wisdom.

Below is documentation of my own work included in the exhibition as seen in sections of the space.

List of works by Tiffany Titshall in order of appearance on this page. Includes description and some pricing as with a room sheet.

GEORGIE GREEN

BIO

Georgie Green is a Skipton-based sculptor with a passion for the environment. She completed an undergraduate degree majoring in printmaking, with honours in sculpture, and later a master's degree in fine art with an emphasis on installation. For more than 20 years, she has been working in education, the fine arts, and STEAM, spanning from the tertiary to the primary level.

STATEMENT

I guess I'm a bit old-fashioned as an artist; I love to make, and fingerprints are important. I select materials to express my ideas and tell my stories, but ultimately, they have a voice and stories to tell as well. There's the work and the title; that's all I impose on the audience. Their response or relation to their own stories is important and valid. With that in mind, my name is Georgie Green, and I make stuff! Enjoy.

JOELLE MAYBERRY

BIO

Joelle Mayberry is a Melbourne sculptor and painter who studied printmaking and now works in a sculpture foundry where she does everything up to the point of casting ( lost wax method).

She has exhibited since 1993 in a way that could generously be described as sporadic.

STATEMENT

If I plan a piece it's sure to be a disappointment, so I am always trying to be as spontaneous as possible. I go into the studio with my mind as blank as I can make it (that's pretty blank) and try to ambush ideas if they stick their heads above the trenches of my subconscious. I try to make using instinct rather than conscious thought. Then out of sheer perversity I translate these spontaneous pieces via a laborious process into the most durable of media. I particularly like it when you can see my fingerprints in the finished bronze.

SUE-ANNE McCARTHY

BIO

Sue-Anne McCarthy is a Geelong-based artist who completed a BA with honours in printmaking and later completed a Graduate Diploma in Education. She has been teaching Visual Arts to secondary students for over 20 years; facilitating, supporting, and curating young artists’ creative journeys.

It seems now a good time to do this.

STATEMENT

It’s been a long time between drinks, and I find myself full of words with no mouth to speak them. Recently, I came across a book on Paul Klee’s puppets; enthrallingly ugly things. I realised that if what emerges from my artmaking is especially ugly, or worse, that by the end of the sentence I hate what it is I began to say… then so be it. A voice; more like the guttural cry of a banshee, rose from deep inside and exclaimed, “Get the puppets!”

The return to printmaking has felt natural, like coming home to something deeply familiar. Using recycled materials like Tetrapak to make the plates has allowed me to work more spontaneously, getting ideas onto paper without the pressure or permanence that came with metal etching. It’s surprisingly well-suited to the process and offers a sense of freedom and limitlessness that traditional etching never did.

TIFFANY TITSHALL

BIO

Completing her BA with honours in printmaking at Monash University in 1995, Titshall doesn’t recall being trained to navigate any perceived version of the art world. It took some years of introversion and eventual frustration with her own lack of discipline to learn to ignore what did not matter and simply get on with creating—regardless. Titshall has exhibited regularly since 2008 and has had work acquired by the Central Goldfields Art Gallery and the Art Gallery of Ballarat.

Titshall lives and works on Dja Dja Wurrung country in central Victoria as an artist and also as Design Syren.

STATEMENT

I like the idea of the contrast between echoing the needs of others and personal rebellion—hence Echo Bitch: the myth, the pun, the song. I love my friends and am very grateful to be exploring with and supporting our collective vision by reuniting for this exhibition. Connecting feels like the ultimate reason we do what we do.

I usually work in charcoal on paper—an impatient printmaker’s medium. Themes range from myths, inner worlds, relics, rituals, tree portraits, and the natural world in which I live, to erosion and scars (both literal and symbolic), walking, and echoing my surroundings in a personal way. Gender and our conditioning are also fascinations, as we constantly unpack what we know and what we see—or don’t see—from different perspectives. Often, when a body of work is finished, an alternative personal meaning lies beneath. Sometimes, years later, another narrative is revealed. It is hard to see all of what our minds are trying to express in the moment, and that’s something I love about artmaking—creating can be an act of serendipity. So we continue, because we all want to know what comes next. Sometimes there are seriously spooky predictions.
