An exhibition highlighting treasured moments of personal interaction titled, Want a cuppa?, is on display at Crows Nest Gallery from September 21 to October 16, 2022.
Jennifer Wright’s (Summers) exhibition combines artworks made from tea bags and other reminders of warm conversations. The different elements invite viewers to share experiences and reconnect in an exhibition space that encourages (COVID-safe) personal interaction.
The artist reveals her appreciation of art’s important role in creating more cohesive, connected communities. She is holding two Tea Bag art workshops with Crows Nest QCWA members. Their art will be added to artworks in the exhibition.
Want a cuppa? is the culmination of Wright’s varied professional and personal experiences. She has previously worked with school students to analyse a shopping centre’s waste output while exploring ways to reduce people’s energy and waste footprint.
Across her disparate career, Wright has featured on the TV series Totally Wild as the Junk Lady.
