The Cocoon Gallery for Emerging Artists

Shine: an exhibition by Joanne Armstrong

We would like to welcome Joanne Armstrong into the Cocoon Gallery for emerging artists with her exhibition titled ‘Shine’.

‘Life can be challenging but hardship and the way in which we handle it is what makes us.’ Joanne has poured her life experiences and emotions into the artworks she presents here. These artworks are her first, based on recycling, reusing and repurposing. She obsesses with anything that reflects, refracts or warps light and these elements feature prominently in these collaged mixed media works.

In preparing for this exhibition, Jo has found satisfaction from being thrifty and gratitude in realising her personal resilience and “NEVER give up attitude”. Her hope is to add to this collection and inspire others – you – to keep the faith, even when the going gets tough or when you’re perhaps being tough on yourself. The works are accompanied by a poem titled “Shine”.

The exhibition will be on display until Friday 20th December. The Cocoon Gallery for emerging artists is in the entry to the Margaret River Library.
