Raising funds for: Brenda Croft
The extremely wonderful Canberra based artist Brenda Croft's storage unit in Belconnen was broken into on Tuesday night and artwork and personal belongings were stolen, including her work ‘Grounded’ (triptych), which was in the Hindmarsh Prize at Canberra Glassworks and she had only collected it yesterday from touring in Japan. It’s a very distinctive one-off work, kiln-cast lead crystal (red, white and black), mounted on 3 distressed coreten steel boxes with electrical wiring, 20.5 (h) x 20.5 (w) x 26.0 (d) as a group of three, or as single works. The lead crystal objects are cast stone axes. Brenda also had objects stolen that were in ‘heart-in-hand’ at Canberra Contemporary Art Space earlier this year. Then on Wednesday, on her way back to her home after discovering the robbery, Brenda fell and broke her leg. She will be completely immobile for six weeks and her archive remains vulnerable in its current location. This fundraising campaign is set up to help relocate Brenda’s archive (which is substantial) into a more secure location. You can show your support through this fundraiser!

Hello everyone who has donated to the cause and a huge thank you to you all. I hope you have a Happy New Year. Below is a message from Brenda to you – I've been overwhelmed by all those who made contributions. What I want to do is say a huge thank you to everyone - you helped eased a hugely stressful experience. Only 7 more sleeps till I'm back on my feet - literally - which means I'll be able to go to my new storage unit and sort out exactly what was stolen (apart from my glass work), finalise the police report and insurance and get on with life in 2019. I wanted to send individual emails to say thank you but the site doesn't cater for that, so hope people don't mind me naming and thanking you here. A particularly huge thank you to Chelsea Hopper, Shaune Lakin and Kelli Cole, who did so much of the legwork in getting this sorted and my belongings moved. Hope I am able to repay the massive favour in the future, xoxoxoxo Many thanks and love, Brenda & Chelsea
