Paper Waste,Dame Enid Lyons,Robert Moore

The paper drop cloths Robert Moore used to create art could easily have ended up in the bin if not for a painstaking process that has resulted in somewhat wearable and usable items.

The rigid paper Robert Moore used as drop cloth to create artworks sent around the world could easily have ended up in the bin.The Selvedge 2.0 exhibition featured short-sleeve shirts, bucket hats and tote bags painstakingly made using paper supplied by Moore that was steamed and sewn into shape by Hall.

"She responded to it in a way that I would really loved to have responded to it, but I didn't know how to get there," Moore said. "The shirts entirely useless as far as wearing goes, but they look fantastic hanging on the wall."Hall's end of the collaboration was a slow process that sometimes required startlingly quick movements to ensure paint, varnish and glue-splattered papers created by Moore took the right form.

From an explorer to an actor to a trailblazing 'Nanny', Tasmania's electorate names tell quite a story "That's where the idea that we're doing in this show, and the collaboration, that's where it's now starting to go."Visual Art
