What does Frankston mean to you? This is the question on the minds of the Peninsula Printmakers when coming up with their works for "Walking Through Frankston", an exhibition of linocut prints focussing on life in the City of Frankston, Victoria. The Peninsula Printmakers, a group of women who have been developing their printmaking skills under the guidance of renowned Mornington printmaker Billy Nye, have each taken their own 'walk through frankston'; ruminating, discovering, documenting history, and connecting with Frankston's community, architecture and natural landscape.
The collection of 40 or so linocut works features many locations that define the area, including Olivers Hill, Sweetwater Creek, and of course multiple beachside viewpoints. The exhibition also presents hidden gems that have a special meaning to the artist - shops, gardens, quiet places of contemplation, and even ex-resident Frankie the Gnome. Each artwork will take viewers on their own walk through Frankston within the gallery space, and hopefully inspire attendees to discover some of the real life locations for themselves.
Supported by Frankston City Council's Artist Project Grant program, "Walking Through Frankston" is on show from Thursday 7th March to Saturday 20th April
