Wildflowers, Kinship and Creativity Artist in Residence
Over the last week I’ve had the pleasure of being part of the Wildflower, Kinship and Create Artist Residency organized by Dr Sue Davis. The residency hosted artists Marvene Ash, Anne HarrIs and Chony Bowden and photographed by Ketakii Jewson-Brown. The residency was funded through the Regional Arts Development Fund and held in the Maroochydore Botanical gardens Arts & Ecology Centre. It was a sheer delight to be part of this beautiful group of artists and work in such a visually beautiful space within the gardens. Thank you to Dr Sue Davis and the team at RADF and the Arts & Ecology Centre for organising this amazing event.
See and Seaing Exhibition
This exhibition is held as part of Melbourne Design Week 2021, within which, Fashion brand S!X have curate a series of works by artists and designers from Melbourne and Brazil working together to transform our attitudes towards the use of Plastic. Unsuitable replacement: Spinifex, Pigface, and Snake Vine. The plastic bag dances in the wind on the sand dune. It is patterned with plants endemic to these sand dunes spinifex, pigweed, and snake vine. The plastic bag takes space where once wildflowers flourished. It’s form imitates what once was, but it’s not the same. It’s distracting us from our reckless destruction in the name of progress. We once fought to protect these sand dunes. We now fight to protect our convenience.
