- **Event Name**: Lisa Ashcroft – All That Glitters is Not Gold
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 09 May, 2026 at 12:00 am (+10:00)
- **Event Description**: The Mike Carney Arts Centre presents All That Glitters is Not Gold, a bold and provocative exhibition by Townsville artist Lisa Ashcroft.

Working across textile and sculptural forms, Ashcroft blends sequins, lace, novelty objects and intricate hand-stitching to create works that are both visually playful and conceptually confronting.

At first glance, her pieces appear whimsical and kitsch. On closer inspection, they reveal powerful commentary on consumerism, political corruption, discrimination, healing and the complexities of the human condition.

Many of the works in this exhibition have been developed over the past three years, forming a cohesive body of work that reflects the artist’s evolving ideas and practice. Some pieces were originally created in the United Kingdom and have since been re-conceptualised and further developed in Australia.

The “glitter” is intentional, a reclaiming of visual language often dismissed or gendered. Each stitch represents a process of mending and transformation, with some works containing over 100 hours of hand stitching.
