Carolyn Cardinet: Visual Art Blog

Wonderful to be part of this Festival  with WORA again this year  I was privileged to be asked to put up my new work with an exhibition with 4 talented artists from Castlemaine. The Mill will be an exhibition space opposite the glorious Botanical Gardens. Plastic Waterways - installation at night  Surprised this morning to have the light streaming onto my work light and shadow adding a new dimension to this installation with a quick portrait just before we de-install  The work Plastic Waterways was a map of Victoria's waterways engraved and of the coast cut-out a project made and inspired from possum cloaks which were painted with aerial maps of the local tribe.  Creating awareness in plastic consumerism and plastic pollution is something I am passionate about in my art practice. Through my art practice, I have a visual language to contribute to the dialogue which is starting but only just starting to happen around the world. This work assembled 2 l mi

Westgarth Theatre Always nice to hear that passerby thought the works on display was  or reminded them of my artwork This installation was put together for the special event for the occasion of the projection of the French Film Festival documentary Tomorrow (Demain) a must see and a positive outlook on what people already have put to action around the globe... There is an inkling of hope on the horizon but we all need to do our bit. However small or large your contribution is, your gesture is going towards a positive impact on our future for this planet.   Choosing your best shots is always a difficult decision in the making or not! This was another great opportunity to put my work up in one of the still standing old  Melbourne icon venues
