FROM vintage typewriters to cassette tapes to the Nokia brick phones of the 2000s, an upcoming exhibition at Ross Creek Gallery is set to bring about happy memories for viewers.<\/p>\n

An assemblage of household items from the 1940s to the early 21st century has been lovingly recreated in pencil-form as part of Cecile Michel\u2019s Nostalgia show.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The graphite and charcoal piece Grandma’s Cake was inspired by Michel’s memories of her grandmother baking, and harkens back to her childhood love of meringues.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Working with graphite and charcoal on canvas, the East Gippsland-based artist has created 23 illustrations for the show over the course of a year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re all of objects that people are a bit fond of,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got a lot of fond memories attached to the items like there\u2019s an old typewriter or a slinkie that people would have had.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s using realism and having something not too serious that people can relate to and enjoy looking at.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Previously capturing different cultures as well as \u201cserious\u201d political subject matter, Michel said the new series is a conscious move towards lighter, more jovial fare.<\/p>\n

\u201cI needed something to get out of my head so I drew objects I could find that made me smile,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going back to a time when nothing was of worry and everything was simple and you just took things day by day.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nice to have a reminder that you can still get into that headspace by looking at those items and remembering what it was like.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The show will mark her return to Ballarat, where she lived throughout most of the 2010s before relocating to Paynesville in 2020.<\/p>\n

Her first solo exhibition was held at the Old Butchers Shop Gallery in 2022.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Each work in Nostalgia was created using reference photos of the objects, many of which were unearthed from various op shops.<\/p>\n

Michel aims to display some of the drawings alongside their real-life counterparts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She said she hopes attendees will come away from the show with the same happy feelings of nostalgia that were evoked for her in creating the works.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI really like seeing people smile at my works and that\u2019s what I want to get out of this,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can look at these objects and even if it\u2019s the exact same as the one they\u2019ve got or remember, they can have similar memories or even completely different ones but it\u2019s still happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nostalgia is on show until 23 March. Ross Creek Gallery is open Saturdays and Sundays from 1pm to 4pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
