Penola based crochet artist Trevor Smith is hosting a solo exhibition at The Riddoch Arts and Cultural Centre, presenting a new collection of his much-adored crochet sculptures.
The Taxidermist assembles a body of sculptural work exploring animals, birds, sea creatures, coral and wall mounted mammal heads.
Mr Smith is a self-described obsessive maker who has crocheted his way through hundreds of kilometres of yarn in the production of an array of unique flora and fauna wonders.
“I am always making something, whether it’s irons and toasters, legs of ham or mounted deer heads,” he said.
“I like to keep busy – but there is no pattern, I couldn’t make the same thing twice if I wanted to.”
Riddoch team leader curatorial Chris Clements said The Taxidermist neatly brought together decades of exploration of soft sculpture into a concise and playful body of work.
“Trevor has masterfully realised pieces transform the world we live into a parallel world of wonder,” he said.
The exhibition officially opened on Friday, December 8.
