Hidden Revealed Transformed is the inaugural exhibition of the MELD Arts group, held at Showcase Gallery Perth 18th October to 1st November 2014. The MELD Arts group comprises of Margaret Ford, Liz Arnold, Louise Wells and Julie Devereux. Artistically the group is diverse. The work produced for the show incorporating techniques such as  drawing, quilting, freeform crochet, embroidery, dyeing, collage and painting were used to convey themes including memory, nostalgia and personal narrative. My work for the exhibition is shown below.
