Community Collaborations

Art has the ability to bring a community together and strengthen the connection between its members. Art crosses all boundaries be they age, gender or nationality and provides a common ground where together we explore our creative expression and our diverse cultural backgrounds. Jill is available to consult on community projects so reach out and make contact so we can discuss your requirements.

Faberge Easter Egg

Creating our version of the luxurious Faberge Egg with its own hidden secrets within. After dark, moving shadow play of Australian native animals come alive. Installed at the Albany Entertainment Centre in collaboration with Serena McLauchlan, Dark Horse Projects and Albany Men's Shed, Easter 2021. Timber, painted textiles and light projection.

Jackson the Octopus

Jackson is my contribution to the Albany Australia Day Festival, 26 Jan 2021. Recreated from materials used in a previous Jackson Pollock inspired "Blue Poles" installation in Fremantle, crochet, baling twine and textiles. In collaboration with Serena McLauchlan and with appreciation to the Albany Men's Shed for creating Jackson's giant chair.

Women's Web

Laneway installation for the 2020 Albany Christmas Festival. Crocheted yarn webs are woven and entwined within the narrow thoroughfare space of the laneway. The draped and taught webs aim to activate the laneway with colour, curiosity and playfulness. An immersive space to mingle with family and friends.

Glitterati Parti

A Dark Horse Projects collaboration. Jill O'Meehan and Serena McLauchlan joined forces to create 'Glitterati Parti' a lane way installation for the 2020 Albany Christmas Festival. Twenty-four hand made Chandeliers from recycled and reclaimed materials adorn the otherwise unused lane way. These pieces aim to activate the space with joy and imbue festive spirit in movement and wonder.
