February 2014: Virginia Stephens My practice in the visual arts (in which I include craft) has been a layer affair as I have negotiated the overlaying roles of educator, curator, administrator, painter and fibre artist. The first three roles have in most parts of my life been more than fulltime endeavours that greatly limited the time and focus for my own production but at various points in my life and especially in recent years, the making has a primacy and I begin to self identify as ‘an artist’. My ‘painting’ is really a mixed media practice and often the work will incorporate fibre elements (silk ‘paper’). My fibre practice has 2 parts – a function stream of wearable hats, scarves, and cuffs and decorative vessels; and an exhibition stream of less functional unique pieces, the largest body being my recent exhibition ‘What’s A Girl To Do?’ of narrative sculptural ‘hats’. There are similarities and differences in how I approach both mediums but there is overlap, as recently came home to me when a young woman in a store commented the hat I was wearing was ‘like a painting on my head’.
