The annual Exploration Exhibition, now in its 10th year, is currently on at Flinders Lane Gallery, Melbourne. Each year the curatorial team select emerging artists for this group exhibition. In this new series of paintings by artist, Vanessa Oter, 'materials at hand' are recycled while returning to familial territory. Creating painterly stitches, influenced by her mother's tapestries, Oter has sewn her way across the randomly spotted and marked drop sheets her father, a commercial painter and decorator, no longer
requires.
