Exhibition Statement:

There is something of the giddy delight in making art and having fun that you want to sustain forever. But all too quickly, it can disappear amid the flurry of day-to-day life: to-do lists, traffic jams, chaotic appointments, and artist application rejections.

Tin Pot Tactics: Feast and Flourish has emerged from the freedom and flexibility that friendship allows. It brings together six friends, all members of the Tin Pot Women Artist Collective, a savvy bunch who have devised tactics to keep artmaking and good humour exactly where they belong: front and centre, as a way of navigating the weighty, often overwhelming concerns of our times.

Working symbiotically, we draw primarily on salvaged and found objects both material and metaphor, reimagining their past lives to question ideas of value, waste, memory and care. These repurposed materials become vessels through which we explore social and environmental issues, grounding our shared practice in the tangible remnants of everyday life.

Each month, we feast together and around the table with civility and care, we share the wins and losses of our practices. The encouragement, compassion and laughter lighten the load and bind us together. Between courses of chocolates, rocky road, berries, and pudding, we turn to the second part of our plan: committing to continue producing high-quality artistic outcomes that counter the chaos.

And we go further still. We vow to exhibit together. In solidarity, we confront the ambiguities of deadlines, the weight of self-doubt and the brutish behaviours that stifle creative flow. Here we reshape traditional ideas of artistic solidarity. Tin Pot Tactics: Feast and Flourish is our shared commitment to making and showing, our wily way of pushing our practices out into the world with collective strength. We like seeing our work alongside each other and watching everyone shine, a constant source of drive, even as we butt heads with the turmoil that surrounds us.
