Precisely by Sue Lorraine

Artist list

Sue Lorraine

The exhibition is a tribute to her late father; architect and artist Hans Lorraine and the works on show are personal and reflective. 

A chalkboard wall covered with the machinations of the design process is the backdrop for two intriguing pieces - Watching music and Catching time. These works are models, three-dimensional linear drawings in fine steel rod that reflect on the melodic nature of music and the structured but elusive nature of time.

Reference to Han’s love of painting and aesthetics is made in the work titled Perspective - a two dimensional steel model that sits in front of a water colour painting on the wall.

Also on show are Staedtler Mars clutch pencils that have been skillfully refashioned to create a series of Dragon fly brooches and bold blackened steel neckpieces that are highlighted with soft water colour washes in the Lost in space series. Precisely is full of surprises, the works are insightful, resourceful and inventive and very lovingly and precisely crafted as a celebration of a gentle and creative life.

Precisely is part of the 2017 Adelaide Fringe Visual Art program. Sue Lorraine’s artistic practice spans over three decades her works are technically adept and refined and conceptually thoughtful. She is a founding partner of Gray Street Workshop.
