Waste to Wonder | Natasja van Wyk & Macarena Ocea
Sat 19 Oct - Sun 1 Dec | aerie gallery
Join us at Burrinja for an innovative exhibition by emerging artists Natasja van Wyk and Macarena Ocea. This project transforms everyday soft plastic waste into extraordinary textile and mixed media art.
Through punch needle embroidery, up-cycling, quilting and color blocking, Natasja and Macarena create layered artworks that address pressing personal, environmental and social themes. By highlighting the urgent challenges posed by plastic waste, "Waste to Wonder" aims to empower community members to become agents of change. Attendees will gain firsthand insight into sustainable practices and the transformative power of up-cycling.
Experience the beauty of sustainability and art combined. Be inspired to rethink waste, embrace creativity, and contribute to a greener future.
Please join us for the Exhibition Launch: 2pm Sat 19 October – everyone welcome.
This exhibition was accompanied by a series of free workshops in early to mid October exploring art and sustainability. These workshops were supported by Yarra Ranges Council, Creative Victoria and Burrinja Cultural Centre.
