John Parkes avoids technology. This work expects the viewer to understand the importance of the hand and time… The blanket and the apron were gifted by friends in Germany. The apron was worn by Helen in her studio practice as a jeweller. The blanket was a find in the cellar of their Munich apartment. The red moleskin cloth was an OP shop find and originally a eucalyptic green. This cloth was discharged and overdyed. Cloth will often sit around the house, unattended, until ideas germinate. Is “Art” about “Art” or about the “Artist”?... There is a Buddhist notion of not writing in the first person, in that the Ego is not employed. There is a Japanese tradition “Boro” in which cloth is not discarded but repaired. These three cloths are now one.Wangaratta Art Gallery Collection - Winner WCTA 2017A square handsewn textile that features a white apron that has red running stitch squares, holes, hand paint stains across with initials in blue thread sewn in the bottom right corner of the apron which is in the center of the work.

St John’s Anglican Church on Miles Street, Deer Park was built in 1891. Its construction coincided with Melbourne’s 1890s land‑boom, when developers were subdividing outer districts and the Church of England began establishing small mission churches to serve new settlements. St John’s was a simple weatherboard, gabled church, built in a vernacular Gothic style typical of small rural Anglican churches. Key features included: timber cladding, steep gabled roof, small and enclosed porch facing Miles Street, minimal ornamentation and an adjacent concrete‑block parish hall (added mid‑20th century). The church’s simplicity reflected the modest means of early Deer Park families and the mission‑church model used by the Anglican Church in new suburbs. In 2016, the St John’s Anglican Church on Miles Street was completely destroyed by fire. Subsequently the church site was sold and developed into the Deer Park Early Learning and Kindergarten Centre in the early 2020's.The St John’s Church was the oldest church in Deer Park, the second‑oldest Anglican church in the district and the only church in Deer Park until the 1960s.St. John's Church Deer Parkst. johns church, miles street, deer park
