NECCHi Newlands, 20 Murray Rd, Coburg North VIC 3058, Australia

About the event

Water flows free and happy. It moves around rocks and other obstacles that the river brings. Birds and insects fly by and have a sip. This gives us endless ideas for printing birds and insects on fabric. Children will play with their scarf following music, and learn to make it flow like a river.  

These workshops are designed especially for children with special needs. All children must be accompanied by a parent or carer for the duration of the workshop.

Born in France, Sofie Dieu’s first encounter with art was through church. With a penchant for ritual and spirituality, the artist is best known for her fragile, sombre, and sometimes violent ink paintings and textile works.

 

Poetic and humanist, her practice draws on her journeys to China and Australia. She explores how identity and memory fluctuate according to their immediate environment. Landscapes, people, secrecy, healing, and the dichotomy between light and darkness are some of her recurring themes.

  

Multi-art prizes and award finalist, her work was included in the Sydney North Art Prize, Waterhouse Natural Science prize and the Contemporary Art Award amongst others. In 2016, she worked on the Camperdown Cemetery installation for Sydney Biennale. In 2017, her work will be shown during Vivid and Mental Health Month in Sydney.
