Mind The Change Inc.

Our Carine Parkside workshop took a playful turn last week when a crowd of little wooden mannequins - featuring our honorary guest, Pinocchio - joined the table. 🎨🪵

Everyone approached them in their own way: tracing the figures, following their shadows, or sketching freely from observation. The results? A whole gallery of unique perspectives. Some pieces leaned realistic, others burst into symbolic shapes, colours, and patterns - all of them thoughtful and full of character.

Such beautiful work from our artists once again. ✨

During the wet and woolly September, a rainmaker may have been a little redundant but nevertheless, Frank and Brittany dove into the project with full hearts and curious hands! 🌧️🎶 Over two lively sessions, they painted a vibrant, textured design, experimented with grains and legumes to create different sounds, and hammered nails with growing confidence. 🔨🫘

Between heartfelt singalongs, shared laughter, and a few tender moments, they transformed a simple tube into a colourful, musical creation - a reminder that creativity and connection can brighten even the stormiest days. 🌈

A little throwback to this simple activity that really packed a (hole)PUNCH! Inspired by the repeating patterns and bold, striking colours of Minaxi May, our artists at Melville Parkside were all struck by the convenience and freedom of the large, multi-shape holepunchers to create their own unique pieces! We focused on creating movement, colour cohesion, and drawing the eye in. 🔵🔻🔸🟪💠

We are super excited to visit the interactive Minaxi May exhibition at artgallerywa ASAP for even more inspiration! 🎨🦋
