A Wall for my Sister is a curated collection of drawings and collages to honour the artistic legacy of Wendy Tabell (1942–2023).
Wendy, an artist and educator, pursued her practice with quiet dedication, seeking no acclaim. Despite being largely overlooked by the mainstream Sydney art scene, she remained devoted to her ‘living practice’ – a private and vocational pursuit where abstraction served as a key mode of expression. Wendy was also highly regarded as a visual arts teacher at several TAFE colleges and City Art Institute (now known as UNSW School of Art & Design).
This exhibition is a heartfelt dedication to Wendy by her sister, Lynne Eastaway, a respected Sydney artist who served as Head of Drawing at the National Art School. Lynne's own works are held in esteemed collections, including those of NAS Darlinghurst, Curtin University, Wollongong University, Artbank, and the National Gallery of Victoria.
Join Lynne for afternoon tea in the gallery on Sunday 2 June from 1pm at DRAW Space, 31A Enmore Road, Newtown Gadigal.
