A MASK by artist, Deanne Gilson has been acquired by the Melbourne Museum for their permanent collection.<\/p>\n

Sewn for the COVID climate, Gilson made the archived face covering from original fabric featuring her own native silver Banksia painting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m obsessed with Banksias. In July to August, the flowers come out and tell you the season. The nectar is a bush tucker, and the wildlife loves it. The pods are used for fire sticks,\u201d Gilson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe curator had seen one of my posts on Instagram of a silver Banksia mask, and purchased one for the museum, which is such an exciting thing to happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t realise a hand painted mask could make it into a major collection.\u201d<\/p>\n

With textile expertise and a \u201cdiploma in fashion design I never thought I\u2019d use,\u201d Gilson began making masks earlier in the pandemic to ensure her elderly father, Barry was protected.<\/p>\n

Finding Kulin Seasons<\/em> fabric she\u2019d designed in 2018 for Hong Kong\u2019s Business of Design Week, she got to work, sewing about 80 masks which have been popular amongst Ballarat\u2019s \u201csupportive\u201d creatives and her extended family.<\/p>\n

Gilson also gave more than half of the face coverings away to the Aboriginal community, including elders in need of a three-layer mask.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Kulin Seasons <\/em>fabric is based loosely on the seasons\u2019 natural changes to the environment, plants and animals, with some favourite exceptions like my waratah design,\u201d Gilson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve done two cotton layers, and the pretty outer layer. I\u2019ve enjoyed the process, and having people wear my own flower designs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started it all to protect my dad, and now I\u2019ve been able to protect a lot of people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gilson has a \u201clittle stash\u201d of masks at her front door for friends quickly needing a face covering.<\/p>\n

Her masks are still available to the public through her website, deannegilson.com<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
