Perth-based artist Olga Cironis works on display at Albany Town Hall

A free exhibition of artworks by multidisciplinary Perth-based artist Olga Cironis is now on at the Albany Town Hall. The exhibition, titled Hammer and Honey, is a display of multimedia artworks including sculpture installations, photography and acrylic wall works. Cironis’ works are inspired by her Greek, Czech and Australian heritage and invite viewers to question their social and environmental connections. She uses everyday items, such as garden shovels completely sewn over by woollen blankets in her work I Will Build You a Home, to cause viewers to reflect on their views on their place in society, according to City of Albany visual arts officer Indra Geidans. “This exhibition really opens viewers’ minds to the ideas of place, society, heritage and the numerous cultures that exist among us,” she said. “Olga’s use of everyday objects and stories connects with audiences of all ages, backgrounds and beliefs where no two viewers leave with the same experience.” Hammer and Honey is on display at the Albany Town Hall until May 21.
