The Tulip Project
Ruth Ellington
The Tulip Project is an autobiographical exhibition by Biloela-based artist Ruth Ellington. Steeped in symbolism, this body of work pieces together the artist’s life through her alter ego, Tulip. Combining painting, printing, soft sculpture and digital imagery, Ellington’s artworks will delight the senses through a flurry of handmade flowers. This exhibition juxtaposes naive aesthetics with the richer themes of the ebb and flow of life.

Curated by Kyoji Takizawa from the Machida City Museum of Graphic Arts, the exhibition introduces the work of ten well known painters who drew on trends in contemporary art and attempts to reassess the existing history of contemporary Japanese prints. This exhibition was made possible by the Japan Foundation, Sydney and the Consulate-General of Japan, Brisbane.

Reception this way: motels - a sentimental journey with Tim Ross.
Travel around Australia, revisiting your memories of the classic Aussie motel, from family holidays and long road trips to continental breakfasts and mid-century mod-cons. In a land where the car has provided us with the ultimate freedom to hit the road and explore, it is no surprise that Australians wholeheartedly embraced the American concept of the motel. When motels began springing up in the 1950s, they represented a new, stylish and sophisticated way to travel. Join the National Archives and Tim Ross on a driving holiday through the quintessential Australian experience of staying in a motel - holidays of yesteryear! And find out why these images are part of the National Archives’ collection.
