Ilona Glastonbury's new works at Kabminye Wines

"Sketch for February thunderstorm" by Ilona Glastonbury pressed tin on board

At Kabminye for SALA again this year will be the beautifully textured works of South Australian artist Ilona Glastonbury. Inspired by the Barossan landscape, Glastonbury has created a body of works using reclaimed and weathered materials that speak of home, heritage and identity. While she predominantly uses pressed tin salvaged from old homes, recent works have included the use of old cribbage boards and farm gates.

These beautiful collages, in spite of their abstract nature, allow the (very Australian) landscape stories of their materiality to be told.
