another way
Desmond Taylor and Helen Seiver
This exhibition opening to a warm crowd with a wonderful Welcome to Country by Roma Winmar. There are still a few weeks left to catch this exhibition.
another way combines stitched artwork, with installation, painting, photography, sculpture, natural materials and video, to deeply engage with a history that is shared and a tragedy that is being reconciled. For the past four years, Desmond Taylor and Helen Seiver have been working together on a profound artistic journey of forgiveness and healing. Together they have sat on country at Nullagine in the Pilbara. They have talked, performed rituals and created artwork. They have learnt from each other, leant on each other and gradually walked toward another way; a sensitive and perceptive way that breaks with the bonds of colonial determination. another way is the culmination of a unique collaboration and the coming together of distinct yet indelibly connected life experience.

DRYLANDS
This is your last chance to catch this exhibition at the Homes à Court Gallery @ Vasse Felix. The final day is this Sunday 28th April.
Drylands considers changes to the Western Australian landscape of the Wheatbelt, Southern and Great Southern regions. It features painterly observations of the land following decades of deforestation, fire regimes, the impacts of climate change, increasing salinity and loss of biodiversity. The artworks picture receding islands of trees, canola fields in full bloom, dry, lone trees and empty scarred landscapes silently mourning the loss of bio and geo-diversity.
This exhibition includes artwork from the Janet Holmes à Court Collection and invited artists.

Collection Focus // Stillness
As the third iteration of the Collection Focus series of exhibitions, Stillness explores the un-extraordinary and finds the extraordinary in the everyday.
Focused on the objects of everyday life, Stillness invites the viewer to take a pause away from the bustle of the outside world to focus in on the quietude of inanimate objects and interior domestic spaces. Across the span of three centuries, the selected artworks present still life painting, images of domestic items, indoor spaces, as well as abstract interpretations of the psychology of domestic space.
Presented will be rarely or never seen artworks exclusively from the Janet Holmes à Court Collection.

Deep in the heart of Perth’s Pickle District, lies the Holmes à Court Gallery @ no.10 – home of Pickle Jam; where pen meets performance.
Eight of WA’s hottest writers respond to excerpts from established plays and books, using them as the springboard for original mini scripts. Pickle Jam gives audiences a taste of the artistic process, as you peer into the kitchen of creation and witness short presentations of new ideas, alongside the original sources they’re responding to.
Split into two separate programs over two weekends, each week features a fresh lineup of stripped-back performances from talented WA artists.
Pickle Jam is a taster of Western Australia’s playwriting landscape and an insight into the beginnings of great ideas.
Here Helen Seiver speaks with a group of students from Port School. She is talking about the role of Papirri and their use in Martu culture when talking through difficult topics of conversation.
