Guest Curator Jacqui Hayes
Guest Curator Jacqui Hayes
Jacqui Hayes is a local fashion designer based right here is Orange and launched her own fashion label Barney & Jacq in 2019. This is going to make me feel old writing this, but here goes, Jacqui and I first met back when she was completing her year 12 Visual Arts body of work, before the gallery existed when I was working as the Artist in Residence at her high school. She was drawn to colour and vibrancy back then and we always new a creative life and career awaited her.
I’m thrilled to have Jacqui as one of our esteemed Guest Curators and was so excited to see what she chose from our stockroom as her favourites.
"Art has always been an influence over my collections, I love finding inspiration from colour palettes and textures. The pieces I have selected reflect my love of colour and shapes, I was drawn to the works by Jackie Anderson for the energy they create, an artist who I really admire." - Jacqui Hayes.
