THE CHOSEN VESSEL BELINDA MICHAEL & TIFFANY TITSHALL OPEN FRI 27th JAN, WED 1st FEB, THUR 2nd, FRI 3rd FEB 12-5pm. Closing gathering 4pm Friday Feb 3. Showcasing the collaborative work of Belinda Michael and Tiffany Titshall, these two important central Victorian artists present a powerful new series of drawings and ceramic vessels of immense beauty and intrigue. Set within the colonial Australian gold rush era, the artists challenge stereotypical narratives, recreating traditional scenes with a powerful female protagonist avenging the murder of her mother by performing wild and powerful acts on her harem of enslaved men. Here, accepted histories are upended replaced by a potent gothic mythological tale of feminine power, lust and revenge! NB: This exhibition contains adult themes. Music by @decoloniserdecoloniser album 'Music to Decolonise by' available on iTunes.

Out of the fire - works revisited at Central Goldfields Art Gallery
Exhibition to be held in June in Central Goldfields Art Gallery pop up space
'Out of the fire'
18 June to 20 July 2020.
Opening 2pm Sat 20th June 2020.
Old Fire Station, Neill Street, Maryborough, Victoria.
While in Portugal in 2018 I was caught in the catastrophic bushfires that ravaged the country around the town of Pedrogao Grande and killed 69 people. Four months after returning home my mother passed away. This is a selection of works produced in the following months.
In Voir fountains burst forth and fecund plants grow out of fire. Lost loved ones visit me in my dreams and ignite ancient lights; a statue gazes lasciviously at a brilliantly polished table. I spend my time between night and day, life and death. My worlds burn brightly, smothered by luscious greenery and bright coloured snails. I am thrilled and horrified; I am spilling desire.

The Chosen Vessel - a collaboration with Belinda Michael
The Chosen Vessel is a first time drawing and ceramics collaboration between artists Tiffany Titshall and Belinda Michael.
Belinda Michael is creating large gourd-like vessels that might once have been used by women to cart water. The decoration responds to the form yet it tells a subverted story of female hedonism and sadism.
The story is of a woman born on the goldfields who grows up to perform wild and powerful acts on a harem of enslaved men. The scene is an arid landscape surrounding an engineered and fluctuating body of water. The seemingly barren backdrop of the landscape could be the foundations for Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights.
Exhibition details to be announced during 2020.

‘Victoria is my familiar landscape, although landscapes do not begin or end. Whether garden, field or forest, all are cultivated by someone…or by something. I dream of this landscape where once I dreamed of cities. Trees are a work of architecture or symbolism in themselves - shifting and shaping to respond to stimulation, limbs covered with scars, bursting with new generation, or standing skeletal in a field.’

‘They remind me of many things, of ancient cave paintings I saw deep under the ground in Spanish caves, of beautiful illustrations in old books about hunters and their prey, of mythical creatures tearing at the innocent flesh of young girls and they make me think of the animalistic, primal side of me and others I've met.’
There is so much life and lust and passion and beauty conveyed through these images of wild beasts copulating. I think anyone looking at them must be confronted with their own raw desires and sexuality. I don't refer to those with an interest in bestiality but to the animal within all of us which though shackled by societies expectations attempts to free itself when given the opportunity.' - Elizabeth Johnstone, psychology student.

Tiffany Titshall works in charcoal on paper from her studio in central Victoria. From landscapes and follies to darker, more overt images of animals and devils, her work always simmers with hints of her inner world.
