Overview

Take a Melbourne artist who has collaborated with the likes of The Design Files and Gorman, add Modern Times gallery, a space that focuses on vintage furniture and modern Australian homewares and you have Ellie Malin’s first solo exhibition.

Moonflower will open in Fitzroy on Thursday November 21 and exhibit a range of woodblock prints that explore the connection and beauty between nature and the manmade. Colour and texture come alive in what started out as offcuts of paper, that Malin then turned into woodblocks for printing. You can see the connection to Gorman when you look at the prints too. The shapes and colours are reminiscent of a beautiful shift dress or bucket skirt. Don’t blame us if you feel like wearing the artwork after.
