SUMMARY:KALEIDOSCOPE
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is biography imagined through the lens of a Kaleidoscope. The viewer is offered fragments of the lives represented here. There is no linear narrative. Each time the kaleidoscope turns\, a different story emerges. There are repeating patterns but different emphases and new ways of seeing\, new reflections\, new refractions. No one story dominates and one story does not fit all. \nin 2021\, during Women’s History Month we launched the RHSV Women’s Biographical Dictionary\, an online resource which builds profiles of women who have been involved in the RHSV over its 113 year history. This project is the work of Dr Cheryl Griffin and from this online resource\, Cheryl has curated Kaleidoscope\, launched in March 2022 by Judi Maddigan\, which looks at the lives of 50 of those important women. \nCURATOR: DR CHERYL GRIFFIN\nEXHIBITION DESIGNER: KATRIN STROHL\nEXHIBITION PRODUCTION: DR DAVID THOMPSON & HELEN STITT\nThe exhibition is opened Monday – Friday (excluding public holidays) from 9am-5pm and entry is free-of-charge.

SUMMARY:Bass Valley Historical Society talk on Euphemia Henderson\, wildflower artist and botanist
DESCRIPTION:Bass Valley Historical Society Afternoon Tea meeting on Sunday\, December 4 2022 at 2.00pm. Guest speaker is Maureen Matthews on Euphemia Henderson (1822-1907)\, wildflower artist and botanist. \nWhere: Corinella Public Hall\, Smythe Street.  Cost: $10. Please bring a plate. \nRSVP – Libby Skidmore – 5678 0339 or eskidmore@dcsi.net.au \nEuphemia was briefly engaged to Australian botanist Ferdinand von Mueller (1825-1896)\, and worked with him on Phillip Island. In 1863\, Ferdinand von Mueller\, the director of Melbourne’s Botanic Gardens\, fell deeply in love with Euphemia\, and proposed marriage to her. The distinguished botanist and the talented Scottish girl who loved studying and sketching plants seemed made for each other. She saved his letters to her and we read his salutation\, ”Beloved bride.” They read the poetry of Lord Byron together on Phillip Island. Mueller referred to her proudly as ”my fiancee\, a greatly talented and enlightened Scottish lady”. \n\n\n\nThen their relationship fell apart. In April 1863\, he was writing to ”my beloved” but by August the same year his letter began coldly\, ”My dear Miss Henderson”\, and he was attempting to explain why he had broken off the engagement. Was it his health problems or did he become aware that Henderson was too old to bear children? \n\n\n\n\nNeither of them ever married but Mueller had several other romances. After the end of their brief affair\, they continued writing occasional letters to each other.  Henderson’s paintings reveal her artistic and scientific talents. Maxwell & Williams\, in partnership with the Royal Botanic Gardens\, has produced a beautiful collection of crockery showcasing Euphemia’s work. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
