REGURGITATE Carolyn Cardinet and Janita Ryan The Library Artspace www.thelibraryartspace.blogspot.com Wednesday 06 March 2013 to Saturday 23 March 2013 Opening Wednesday 06 March 2013 6-8pm !!Come and regurgitate!! Carolyn Cardinet and Janita Ryan regurgitate the flotsam and jetsam spewed onto the City of Port Philip shoreline between 2011 and 2012. This gleaned debris is reprocessed, decontextualized from its original purpose and reframed to take on new meaning. Cardinet’s large monochromatic paintings hanging from the gallery’s beams are a strong contrast to Ryan’s miniature egg tempera works.

Plenty to think of and plenty to do with 2 shows next year and a trip to the US to organise How wonderful to be on this new journey after 2 years swallowed by self knowledge and self discovery together with the most interesting studies yet to date. Thank you RMIT MFA team I really enjoyed this amazing journey that led and allowed me to step into my dream of pursuing a 3 dimensional art practice.

In Memoriam 2 @ Gossard Space This installation of single use cardboard packaging used to transport art stretchers is painting with mistints from Bunnings The idea of this project is to use the overlooked. Many items  has been regarded as not worthy by Western society. The sad truth is that yet we produce more, when we already have plenty to use and choose from.

This piece Family is made of single use packaging. What is considered art ? What can be used as a support to make art? What is in the box (wooden art stretchers) or can the packaging be used instead Paintings of plastic trash washed on shore are painted on the boxes as unstable towers
