W[RAPT] Sculptures

Kids Program
♦♦♦

One of the Contemporary Women exhibition’s Gippsland artists Mandy Gunn, created her artwork W[RAPT] by collaging recycled paper shopping bags and wrappings onto sheets of cardboard, and then thinly cutting , layering and constructing the sculptures. These materials were collected by the artist over time as well as donated from others to the artist from their travels. The artist’s aim is to suggest architectural façades and spaces and draw attention to our cult of material acquisition as well as the notion of excess and waste.
