ROYGBIV Exhibition Talk

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the ROYGBIV: A Celebration of Colour lunchtime talks, held as part of the ROYGBIV: A Celebration of Colour exhibition hosted by the School of Design and the Built Environment (DBE).

ROYGBIV: A Celebration of Colour is an international exhibition and talk series that celebrates colour in all its forms, across a range of disciplines and media, and from a wide variety of perspectives. The theme of this exhibition has been selected for both its universality and complexity, as well as its ability to enchant and delight. The exhibition brings together the Curtin community, creatives, and intellectuals on a shared journey to discover the kaleidoscopic ways in which each of us has used, understood, and experienced colour.

Self-discovery

Melanie Gray

For the past 20 years, Melanie has worked as a paper installation artist creating large scale origami artworks in the corporate, charity and community arts space. Alongside this, she ran her own business, 22folds, producing a unique and meaningful giftware range crafted from origami cranes. Melanie has long been captivated with the geometry revealed when an origami crane is unfolded. Recently, feeling a strong pull back into the art world, she has begun exploring this fascination through her new works – created pieces deeply inspired by the parallels she sees between the unfolding of paper and her own journey of self-discovery.

We hope you will join us for light refreshments and a moment of colourful contemplation.

Best wishes,

Dr Jo Li Tay and Dr Monika Lukowska
