Judy Holding •WOVEN: CONNECTED

08-Nov-2023 - 24-Nov-2023
Judy-Holding.jpg

Alcaston Gallery is delighted to present Judy Holding’s new exhibition Woven: Connected, including watercolour on paper, casts and additive sculpture.

Holding’s visual vocabulary of symbolic forms conveys a profound connection to the landscapes of regional Victoria and Murrumburr Country in Kakadu, in the Northern Territory.

The painterly lens through which Holding depicts the landscapes of Murrumburr Country is shaped and informed by her connection with Murrumburr Senior Traditional Owner, Jessie Alderson. Known to each other as Yabok, older sister, and Yagerr, younger sister, their enduring friendship is woven into the fabric of Holding's understanding and experience of stone Country in Kakadu, far north Australia. 

 

"These recent works are a celebration of times spent with my Bininj family, in particular Jessie Alderson (Senior Traditional Owner, Murrumburr Clan) over the last 45 years on their Country…With every visit, I have learned more and have been able to participate on a deeper level… a continuing and cumulative observation, and one which directly influences all my work." - Holding, 2023

With a celebrated career spanning nearly 50 years, Holding has exhibited extensively in Australia and abroad, and has been collected by many major institutions including the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; State Library of Victoria, Melbourne; Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, Darwin and the collections of Deakin, Latrobe, Monash and Victoria University. Most recently, two of Holding’s artist's books My Symbols and My Landscape were acquired by the Library & Archives NT in the Northern Territory.

Woven: Connected will be on exhibition at the Alcaston Gallery Exhibition Space, 84 William Street, Melbourne/ Naarm from 8 November until 24 November 2023.
