MATERIAL EDGE

Material Edge is an exciting, inspiring and bold celebration of six corners of the textile world. The concept for the exhibition was developed by Gallery exhibitions officer Sally Huguenin. Material Edge celebrates the work of six Australian artists and designers who are working “on the edge” of contemporary textile art. In selecting artists for inclusion in Material Edge, Sally sought to choose those who had not exhibited in the Gallery’s textile exhibitions before and who may not even consider themselves as “textile artists”, but who all create their work predominantly with textiles. The exhibition includes work as diverse as Douglas McManus’ laser-engraved textiles with 3D printing; Kathy Temin’s renowned synthetic fur landscapes; and an interactive pompom installation space by Australia’s queen of craft, Pip Lincolne. There will also be four incredibly intricate outfits by Sydney fashion designers Romance Was Born, including a dress famously worn by Cate Blanchett, on loan from the Powerhouse Museum; knitted self-portraits and photographic imagery by Melbourne-based contemporary artist Kate Just; and colourfully embroidered advertising and typography by twin sisters and graphic designers Maricor/Maricar.

FINLEY RAILWAY MUSEUM
Finley was the first town selected in the 19th century for a Pioneer Railway. The rail was extended to Finley in 1898, at a time when NSW was experiencing financial difficulty. The Railways saved money by adopting the Pioneer Rail Standards for this, and some other stations that were connected at this time. The Pioneer system followed the US style to link into regional areas to boost trade and travel, but at low cost due to the harsh economic conditions of the time. Incredibly well preserved, Finley Station is one of the few Pioneer stations still standing, and is also host to the Finley Pioneer Railway Museum containing artefacts and real life railway stories. Take a guided tour with a volunteer and learn about the history of the Finley Pioneer Railway Station or simply have a look around at the on-site railway memorabilia dating back to the 1890s.
