Connecting and Interpreting : Story #5 from the ATASDA Collaborative Golden Cape
Background : The Golden Cape is a collaborative project for ATASDA members and it celebrates the 50th Anniversary of ATASDA in 2024. 50 present day members have received an image of one of 50 yesteryear members artworks, to use as a muse, to create new artwork based on the past. Inspiration can come from textures, colours, style, design, subject, culture or history of the original artwork.
The new artworks have become panels stitched together to create a Golden Cape - an anniversary art wearable . The Golden Cape will be displayed at various venues around Australia from May 2024.
ATASDA member Susan Pepper chose an original work from the 2014 exhibition as her inspiration for her Golden cape contribution. Elizabeth Robert's Ferris Wheel featured a play of circular light and movement within a subdued colour palette.
Susan Pepper's new work referred to these original elements to create "Broken Circle" - layering and distressing fabric embellished with hand stitching and beading .
The broken /fractured elements in the fresh blue-green combination enhance the direction and movement of the circle.... Thank you Susan for your contribution to the ATASDA 50th anniversary Golden Cape.
