Year 11 students from Nayland College's Foundation Certificate seeking volunteering opportunities that will allow hands-on experience that contribute to the community. We have around 22 students, and they are a mixture of 15-16-year-olds. We would be open to doing a full class at the same time or we could individualise to the different students. During school hours would be best but we can work around this if we need to. We can have 2 or 3 teachers there to support as well. For more information, please contact Missy Seymour, [email protected]
THE JEWEL IN THE BROWN
Entangled, entwined, eroded.
All displaced, yet all connected.
All connected, yet each unique.
Walking, Observing, Gathering fragments from an accidental collection piled along the length of a beach where I regularly walk.
Entangled, entwined, eroded.
All displaced, yet all connected.
All connected, yet each unique.
All brown.
Shit brown, dirt brown, golden brown, chocolate brown.
Like any colour, brown is never just brown.
I feel connected to the collected fragments as part of my personal sense of being and place.
Through decorative and functional interventions, I honour the journeys of all the fragments, exploring their many connections and possibilities, taking on a sense of responsibility, of care, recognising the Jewel in the Brown.
Individually and collectively, these works invite us to think about origins and pathways, impermanence and resilience, diversity and connectivity.
They continue their journeys as precious objects, assuming new relationships to our bodies, our clothing, and the spaces we call home.
