Working with Western Sydney and Blue Mountains artists, LIGHT IN SPACE honours the long traditions and evolving techniques of lacemaking, which is often seen as more domestic, decorative craft than experimental contemporary art practice. The exhibition is a collaboration between local lacemaking collective the Outer West LacemakerS (OWLS) and acclaimed NSW lace artist Maggie Hensel-Brown. They have created installations and displays in each room of Lewers House Gallery, the former home of artists Margo and Gerald Lewers, now part of Penrith Regional Gallery. LIGHT IN SPACE highlights the great breadth and skill of lacework in its many forms, and celebrates The OWLS’ 40th anniversary. Together they invite us to see lacemaking with renewed clarity — the stories it tells, the histories behind it, and its future possibilities.
