Tamorin Lavers: Golden Breadcrumbs
As Tamorin walked through the landscape surrounding Kalgoorlie-Boulder, making her own trail in search of the elusive golden breadcrumbs that would make her detector sing its distinctive melody, she thought of how many had walked this way before.
How many trails through the bush, how many stories of riches and wealth or of heartbreak and loss? There is little left to show where they walked, but the old diggings still reveal where they worked.
Tamorin decided to create a series of artworks depicting her own trails, seen from an aerial viewpoint and pinpointing a few shiny breadcrumbs she may, or may not, have found along the way.
Trails can also be seen as a way of connecting different times in her life, past and present and as a way of connecting through art with place and community. You are invited to travel with the artist through various stages of her artistic journey, with works from both past and present.
Throughout this Artist in Residence program Tamorin has connected with the community by sharing her experiences and knowledge with visitors to the Goldfields Arts Centre during open studio days, participating in hands-on workshops, walking to nearby parks to sketch and paint and exchanging art and ideas through 9x5 painting sessions. The wonderful results of these workshops can be seen here at the opening exhibition of Golden Breadcrumbs, through the inclusion of artworks created by the participants.
