Shards and slivers. Glimpse and pieces. The unknowing. I’m excited by snippets and shadows. Smaller things. A conversation as you pass by. Music through the wall of a neighbour. The scent of sound. Bird song. Breath. The drifting. The wondering. The daydreamer. The found. The faded. The forevering of presence. I braid being in my doing. Me-ing in my see-ing. I surround. I sit still. I unravel. I am both cloud and clouded. I rain and I thunder. I remember. I surrender. I rejoice.”—Brett Canét-Gibson

I had the pleasure of working with Yvette on The Lester Prize for Portraiture exhibition for a number of years.
Yvette is a wonderful collaborator with exceptional organisational skills. Her ability to engage with the marketing team at the Art Gallery of WA and generate ideas to aid with the delivery of the marketing and communications of the exhibition was fantastic.

CINDY GONCALVES
Senior Marketing Manager
Central Park (JLL)
We engaged Twine to assist Central Park on the delivery of our arts strategy that spoke to our brand pillars, and met our business and brand objectives.
They demonstrated a genuine interest and understanding, and created an immersive, inspirational and meaningful activation program that delivered on
our strategy requirements.
I have been blown away by Twine’s creativity, work ethic and the delivery of such high-quality meaningful events.
It’s been a pleasure and a breeze working with Yvette and Brett—nothing is ever too hard, and they have adapted quickly and effortlessly with the changes with direction that have occurred.
Twine has also been able to integrate and work collaboratively with the Central Park team and suppliers to generate seamless processes and events.
The events delivered so far have been extraordinary, delivering great results and have had a huge impact.
I highly recommend Twine—they are reliable, very professional, innovative, hard-working and just beautiful people who genuinely love what they do and want to deliver the best for their clients.

activations unfold.

We have engaged Twine to event manage our annual Staff Awards Balls in 2021, 2022 and 2023.
Yvette and her team are excellent partners, understanding our vision for
the evening and not only translating
that into reality, but elevating it
beyond our expectations.
Perhaps more importantly, Yvette understood and embraced why this event is important to us—as a reflection of our culture, and a celebration of our people and the work they do.
I highly recommend the Twine team
and look forward to working with
them again in the future.

CLAIRE BRIDGE
Artist
The Lester Prize
Thank you so much for an extraordinary event! I was delighted to participate as
a finalist and more so now having seen the enormous effort that Yvette and the team put toward making it such a
success for all involved.
Never before have I experienced such
a "valuing" of the artists involved.
You have established a culture where
the art and artists are the priority.
It feels like you are setting new standards in how art prizes can be held.

CINDY
Art Therapist &
Teacher
Walking with Brett as part of his
WLK | TLK Meaning & Making Mentorship Program was an opportunity to step outside a somewhat isolated arts practice and discuss the process of making art, as well as make new connections and discover similarities in experience.
It seems that feeling blocked or not good enough are commonalities, and perhaps that very uncertainty is what drives us in the quest to push personal and
creative boundaries.
Walking with a non-judgmental person who listens and responds with attention is a great way to gain another perspective on creativity and meaning.
It led me to an exploration of the idea of what it means to walk at the side of another, witnessing their journey.
Thanks, Brett—this has been a most interesting and fruitful series of chats.
STEPHANIE BUCKLAND
Chief Executive Officer
Amana Living
Thank you to you and your team for planning and delivering another wonderful Amana Living Awards Ball
in 2022.
The theming was beautiful, the Welcome to Country meaningful, the MC excellent and the band fabulous.
As a professional event organiser,
you’ve no doubt identified things you'd do differently—but from my
perspective, it was perfect!
Thank you so much for helping us to celebrate our wonderful
Amana Living staff.

The Stirling Terrace Mess Hall event that you helped create was simply magical.
Your work and logistics planning meant that we had a dream run at the event.
Local businesses at the markets recorded the highest sales they've ever had.
Yvette deserves a special thank you for her unfailing enthusiasm, positive attitude and her ability to stay calm and deal with 35+ stall holders all clamouring for
her attention.
So many people commented on the wonderful atmosphere, the buzz
and vibrancy and how fantastic
everything looked.
