I was fortunate to attend the opening of 'Colour Sensation' a survey of works by Melinda Harper, June 27 - October 25 at Heide Museum of Modern Art. I found myself drawn to her works in the side rooms including a room of early small paintings from the 1980s-90s and another containing a wall assemblage of small abstract tapestries. The main gallery contains the large scale colourful geometric abstractions that she is known for. For more information read here
