FEARLESS is a new body of remarkable tapestry weavings by internationally renowned artist and Maryborough resident, Dr Flossie Peitsch. Tackling the mystifying world of change, this art presents a tactile, non-objective journal. FEARLESS captures the artist’s first-hand responses of working in very remote Indigenous communities throughout Australia. The weavings’ timely themes are BABYSTEPS, DESERT LIGHT, REPRISE, and RESOLVE. Peitsch’s series continues Maryborough and surrounds’ rich and ongoing patronage of textile and fibre-based art production.

For additional information on the artworks in this exhibition, please download a pdf with an augmented list of works and a review by Neal Nuske below.
