About the Artist

Meet the artist!
The Sun and the Moon are Dancing is, by day, a vivid printed textile form and creates a bold sculptural landscape of colour and geometric pattern. At dusk and into the evening, the work glows from within, becoming a luminous destination that inspires mystery, imagination and wonder.

Matthew Aberline is an Australian artist and creative director known for bold, immersive public artworks that fuse decorative craft, storytelling and social impact. Working across inflatables, textiles, light and performance, he creates participatory installations that invite wide audiences - often families - into experiences of wonder, learning and shared creativity.

His projects span collaborations with the United Nations General Assembly in New York City, community-led creative projects for the Art Gallery of NSW, and partnerships with First Nations artists and regional communities across Australia.

“With generations of my family's connection to the area, I’m very excited to bring a new work to Jindera,” said Matthew Aberline.

“This project celebrates kindness, joy, family and friends making things together, and the simple pleasure of gathering around something big, gorgeous and colourful.

“The work is about drawing people away from screens and devices and inviting them into a genuinely beautiful, vibrant space — filled with colour, pattern and the fun of a community working together to make something beautiful."

You can see The Sun and the Moon are Dancing as part of the Jindera Lantern Walk on Saturday August 1 at 6pm, which is a free community event. Tickets here https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1607078
The exhibition can then be viewed daily between August 2 and 9 when museum entry fees apply.
