Shirley Yumala Collins, Grandmothers tools, 2025, air dried clay, sand, acrylic paints, sealant, wood, gauze, polymers, fabric, string, natural dyes and emu feathers. Courtesy of the artist. 

In Aboriginal cultures, as in most cultures throughout the world, the role of a grandmother holds a reverent place in family groups and is the glue that binds communities together.

Through a series of paintings, prints, textiles, objects, artefacts and jewellery, Shirley and Susan, as grandmothers themselves, explore the custodianship, cultural knowledge, survival knowledge and storytelling relevance of their generation.

Horizons

Joe Furlonger

Joe Furlonger, Errol Barnes(potter), Moree landscape 1995, white clay with underglaze colours beneath clear glaze, 54 x 45cm (diam., irreg.). Donated through the Australian Government’s Cultural Gifts Program 2014 Collection: QAGOMA, Brisbane © Joe Furlonger and Errol Barnes

Drawn from the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) Collection ‘Joe Furlonger: Horizons’ traces the artist’s career through a range of media from painting to ceramics, sculpture and drawing.

Furlonger came to national prominence in the late 1980’s when his large-scale figurative painting Bathers 1987 won the prestigious Moët & Chandon Fellowship, providing him with a residency in France and crystallising the trajectory of his artistic development.

Throughout Furlonger’s 40-year practice, the human figure, land and seascapes have been recurring themes, and his works are instilled with an assured spontaneous dedication to the world around him.

‘Joe Furlonger: Horizons’ was curated by Michael Hawker, former Curator, Australian Art to 1980, QAGOMA, and originally displayed at the Queensland Art Gallery, August 2022 to January 2023.
