Louise Weaver — Honorary University Fellow
We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Louise Weaver as an Honorary Fellow in RMIT School of Art.
Louise Weaver has over 30 years expertise in tertiary art education within the School of Art. She has developed and taught curriculum in painting, drawing, installation and a range of multi discipline media. Louise has lectured internationally in Korea, Singapore, New Zealand and Hong Kong. She was awarded PhD equivalence by RMIT University and has extensive Post Graduate supervisory experience.
Louise Weaver has exhibited widely in Australia and Internationally. Louise uses a diverse range of genres and media in her work, her deep engagement and experimentation with a variety of materials, has resulted in a practice that includes sculpture, painting, drawing, collage, prints, and photography to moving image, sound, and installation. Her paintings and sculptures are absorbed by the dynamics and fragility of the natural world, environmental, social, and feminist concerns. “In Weaver’s allusive world, poetry and meaning take form in the complex spaces between appearances, in the seemingly endless interchange between gestures, ideas and feeling. Highly propositional, her works are imaginative and exquisite objects, tableaux, constellations, and fields for contemplation. Through the intricate traceries, patterns, webs, and nets that appear and reappear throughout her practice, Weaver suggests a complex interconnected universe of fragile beauty that comprises things real and imagined, fleeting and eternal.”
Louise Weaver has held 27 individual exhibitions and more than 200 group exhibitions: including curated exhibitions in 14 countries internationally. Her works are held in many significant public and private collections including the British Museum, UK; Chartwell Collection, Auckland Art Gallery, New Zealand; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, Australia; National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia and Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.
