Deborah Halpern - The Wild Colonial Club precinct
Halpern is a multi-disciplinary artist who explores the mediums of sculpture, painting, pottery, glass blowing and printmaking. Her work can be exuberant and whimsical but is also imbued with a deep artistry. Spontaneous in form, her creatures are created in a style that recalls visions of Gaudi, Picasso and the playful surrealism of French sculptor Niki De Saint Phalle, yet all have become distinctly Halpernesque in their ability to delight and surprise.
Deborah’s work – Ghost – will recall Lorne’s iconic Wild Colonial Club from the mid 20th century. Utilising a timber construction, the sculpture will be enhanced by performance and projections each weekend.
Deborah will also be joined by the band Spectrum for two performances, and the projections of light projection pioneer Hugh McSpedden will adorn the precinct.
Every weekend starting 12 March through to 2 April
