This week I made a series of artworks to commemorate National Reconciliation Week 2020 in Australia.

There was a call out for art entries on the theme ‘In This Together’ at the University of Melbourne to honour the occasion. I was very happy for the opportunity to contribute to this initiative.


Here is my entry:

‘One’

May 2020, Melbourne

“This is one piece from a series I have made to commemorate National Reconciliation Week 2020. It is recycled art from an aquatint I made in 2010. I was inspired by the Dreamtime and the visual musical language of circles and dot art as a traditional Aboriginal expression of spirit and country, water and the land. Many layers communicate the many steps that have been taken by the community together. I wanted to convey intricate interweaving colours overlapping and revealing through one another, like a night sky that also became the morning sky when seen from its inverted angle.

This piece may be viewed and displayed from all sides.”

Selected works will be announced mid-May and a public display with a virtual gallery launched in June.

Art Show 'Digitas' Opening night — M16 Artspace

You’re Invited !

Digitas Invitation - M16 - Keely Van Order.jpg

I’ll be in Canberra for the opening night of my art show, ‘Digitas’ at the M16 .

The invitation is open and everyone is welcome — the more the merrier!

I’ve been working with the talented minds of curator Frances Spurgin and science illustrator Russell Kightley to get the show up and running. I will also be opening a sales page for prints on my website on the same day, with links to the works on display, for those who aren’t in the area.

Meet with other artists and interesting people in the community too.

And, there will be food and drinks.

Hope to see you there!
