A new exhibition titled Art Journal is on show at Anglesea\u2019s Surf Coast Art Space, featuring artworks created in a range of art mediums as well as art journals from emerging art therapy students.<\/p>\n
Organised by practicing artist and art therapist Caz Artsea, the exhibition features Caz\u2019s works alongside her clients\u2019 art journals which detail the creative process.<\/p>\n
The journals provide a personal insight into the artist\u2019s thoughts and ideas through pages of illustrations, brainstorming, visual journaling and writing.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt (Art Journal) displays a unique perspective of artmaking\u2026 the inside of the creative process through the artist\u2019s journal. The artwork as a result is incredibly expressive and soulful,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Caz, who has been hosting classes and workshops on the Surf Coast for expressive art for about five years, said she coaches
\nand facilitates clients who wish to explore through creativity.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a practicing artist, I am drawn to nature as inspiration and my work is imbued with symbology, inspiring custodianship of the earth in my audience,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cArtmaking is a form of expression, available to everyone.<\/p>\n
It is an opportunity to be in stillness, to explore our inner world and to gain insight and wisdom to enhance our quality of life.\u201d<\/p>\n
The local artist also said the exhibition allows the viewer to witness the progression of the artist\u2019s symbols, themes and inspirations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis exhibition is a showcase of the unfolding creative process, rather than the outcome or finished product,\u201d Caz said.<\/p>\n
Art Journal will be on display at Surf Coast Art Space (2\/103 Great Ocean Road, Anglesea) until this Sunday June 30. For news and updates, head to facebook.com\/SurfCoastArtSpace.
