Louise Flaherty is an artist based in Tennant Creek, Northern Territory
currently working as Arts Program Manager for Barkly Regional
Arts, which covers the Tennant Creek area and the surrounding
Barkly region. Louise is a graduate of the Bachelor of Visual
Arts (Honours), South Australian School of Art and is currently
predominately working in ceramics, video and textile installation.
Louise's work is reflecting the beauty of mundane everyday objects
and her video work is non-narrative, meditative and slow moving
and is simply recording beautiful and simple everyday occurrences
in nature.
Works for artroom5 will combine film, porcelain cast works and
sound, capturing the simple beauty and sadness of individual
trees locating in and around Tennant Creek |
