Wax, Cloth, Paper: an exhibition by Rona Mirtle

Exhibition Launch Wednesday 9th March, 4-5pm

RSVP by March 9th to the artist email: rona.mirtle@gmail.com

Rona has always been intrigued by insects and the phenomenal part they play in our existence. She is conscious of the materials she chooses to work with and the impact they may have on these small creatures both in the manufacturing, creative and disposal processes. Rona’s love of working with textiles, printmaking and encaustic painting come together in this exhibition to celebrate these tiny creatures and their habitat. This body of work encompasses framed ‘slow-stitch’ mixed media textiles and wax encaustic mixed media on board. The Cocoon Gallery smells wonderful. All artworks are for sale through the artist.

The Cocoon Gallery for emerging artists is in the entrance to the Margaret River Library and is easily accessible during library hours. On display 2 March – 30 April 2022

Mon and Wed, 10 – 5.30pm

Tues and Thurs, 10 – 8pm

Fri and Sat, 10 – 3pm
