Exhibition Highlight of the Week: Marita Hanigan, "Great Speech Mondegreen #1" (no 16, mixed media and collage, $300).

The term “Mondegreen” is a mishearing or misinterpretation of a phrase as a result of near-homophony, in a way that gives it a new meaning. Mondegreens are most often created by a person listening to a poem or a song; the listener, being unable to clearly hear a lyric, substitutes words that sound similar, and make some kind of sense. American writer Sylvia Wright coined the term in her essay "The Death of Lady Mondegreen", published in Harper's Magazine in November 1954. The term was inspired by "...and Lady Mondegreen," a misinterpretation of the line "...and laid him on the green," from the Scottish ballad "The Bonnie Earl o Moray." Purely for fun, these Great Speech Mondegreens endeavour to give new meaning to the words of two famous speeches by two renowned world leaders.

The exhibition is current until May 30, 2015. View the exhibition online at

Exhibition Highlight of the Week: Janice Appleton, Sin Guilt Fear I (no. 1, hand embroidery and paint on tea towels, 72 x 50 cm, $450).

Janice uses a collection of hand-embroidered tea towels, where she has continued the embroidery to cover the tea towels with messages found in women's magazines during the 1950's and 1960's about "being the perfect housewife". The artist then used red paint to spell out the underlying message behind the advertisements and advice.

The exhibition is current until May 30, 2015. View the exhibition online at

Exhibition Highlight of the Week: Lucy Worsley, Trapped in Time (no 41, stitch, collage, and screenprint, 31 x 31 cm, $450).

Lucy’s inspiration comes through an intrigue of finding hidden, unnoticed and forgotten treasures in the most diverse places and bringing them back to life through stitched story telling. Fragments of hand-sourced materials are layered, drawn, painted, stitched and intricately embroidered and embellished to create a range of tactile patterned scenes and surface designs. Lucy uses a range of techniques including free embroidery, hand stitch, screen printing and painting. The artist relishes in sharing her enthusiasm for both fibre and textile manipulation with others, through the medium of ‘creative storytelling’.

The exhibition is current until May 30, 2015. View the exhibition online at
