Ruth Downes has an ongoing passion for this area of sculptural exploration, as evident in her other exhibitions. Tea Party in the Mayoral Garden (2001 - 2010) won the inaugural NGA Sculpture Prize ‘People’s Choice Award’ and then toured to New York and Washington, followed by an extensive Australian touring program, including Lionel Bowen Library in 2023. This is the follow-up exhibition Lunch for the Trades (2007 - 2010), which has travelled to many regional galleries in NSW and Queensland. Ruth's most recent touring exhibition is Barely Wearable - body adornment for the age of overconsumption (2020 - 2024).
Now, for a limited time, Lunch for the Trades is at Lionel Bowen Library! This exhibit will be on display from June until late August, so ensure you pop in to be delighted by this unique collection of handcrafted pieces.
