Artist Sue Tate
Unstoppable
Sue Tate is a textile and mixed media artist whose work focuses on relationships and the power of positive energy.
The names of the 100 most influential women of 2018, aged between 15 and 94, are stitched into cloth shaped like a tsunami. The resulting wave can be manipulated to form a collar, a shawl, a cowl, a turban, a niqab.
You are invited to touch it, even wear it, and add your power to it. Allow yourself to be enveloped in its power and be reminded that when a woman has the support of other women she will BE unstoppable.

Three Wise Women by
Sue Tate
A mother and her two daughters embody the familiar "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" gesture. Together they represent the silences that can shape family relationships—looking away, staying quiet, and choosing not to hear difficult truths in order to keep the peace.
This work reflects on the tension between harmony and honesty, and the stories families choose not to tell.

Congratulations to Meaghan Shelton, co-curator of the CrossXpollinatioN Retrospective, on winning the People's Choice Award.

As both a featured artist and co-curator of this year's retrospective, Meaghan has brought incredible insight, passion and generosity to the exhibition. Her thoughtful writing and deep understanding of contemporary textile practice have helped tell the story of CrossXpollinatioN and its place in Australia's visual arts landscape.

The voting was incredibly close, with Meaghan's work finishing just one vote ahead of outstanding works by Dijanne Cevaal and Jenny Grenfell—a wonderful reflection of the exceptional quality of this year's exhibition.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote and to all the artists whose work made the CrossXpollinatioN Retrospective such a memorable exhibition. Every vote showed how deeply our community values textile and fibre art.

Congratulations, Meaghan, on this well-deserved recognition!
