Abstract
Ian Factor
Craft ACT Gallerie
Discover contemporary furniture which explores a new consciousness in furniture design. Factor’s distinctive works establish a creative fusion between abstract design and functional furniture using sustainable timbers. The exhibition will examine the effect of placing contemporary furniture in a gallery context showcasing the union of functionality with abstract and sculptural forms.

Substrate, Structure, Surface
Leonie Andrews
Craft ACT Gallerie
The compulsion to order, to create physical and visual harmony is at the core of Andrews’ work. Recycled textiles are joined through layering and stitching, united by dyes, printed and stitched marks. The holes, wear and tear and stains become key elements adding vitality to these textile works.

Mind Refined
Jane Crick
Craft ACT Crucible Showcase
Craft ACT partners with the Canberra Potters’ Society, to award an exhibition selected from the Society’s annual members exhibition. Jane Crick is the recipient of the 2009 award. Crick plays with form and texture, creating ceramic objects she describes as ‘messed up geometry’. The works are inspired by agricultural and industrial buildings, and represent a progression of Crick's practice to new angular, rustic forms.

The exhibitions continue until Saturday 31 July
Level 1, North Building, 180 London Circuit, Civic ACT
