Artist Angie Cass has captured the imagination of Moran Gallery visitors and Moran Sylvania residents with her latest exhibition The Art of Dining. Known for her intricate use of the medium of paper and collage, Angie treated residents to a hands-on workshop at the Gallery focussing on personal story telling.
The Art of Dining reimagines the historical materials of cloth and plate, capturing elaborate rituals of table-setting through the medium of collage. Taking inspiration from table plans, cookery-book illustrations and culinary history, artist Angie Cass tells a crooked but beautiful story of communal dining experiences.
Angie Cass is an analogue and digital collage artist who is interested in discovering treasures in the everyday. Part of her process is to gather paper oddments and vintage cut-outs and scan them for relationships of colour, pattern, tone and theme. She looks for absurd or amusing negative spaces, strange or beautiful juxtapositions and narrative concepts from which a larger artwork can grow. She teaches collage at Hazelhurst Arts Centre.
The exhibition is open to the public until 18 August 2026, Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm daily with free entry.
The Moran Gallery in collaboration with Hazelhurst Arts Centre and Moran Arts Foundation, presents a series of exhibitions that aim to enrich the day to day life of Moran Aged Care residents; their families and the community. The Gallery showcases Australia’s emerging and established artists allowing residents and visitors to experience first-hand the range of diversity of Australian art.
The Moran Aged Care, lifestyle and leisure programs encourage residents to explore their creativity through workshops conducted by the artists on display. The Moran Health Care Group is also a major supporter of Hazelhurst Arts Centre as a Principal Partner supporting active arts programs for the community.
