Bundanon Artist Residency

Bundanon Artist Residency

I’m privileged to be enjoying an artist residency at the infamous Bundanon Art Museum and historic homestead of the Australian painter Arthur Boyd and his family. Set in the hills just out of Nowra NSW, we are surrounded by bushland and wildlife including many goanna, birds, and kangaroo. I'm working in a light filled studio space in a complex alongside other visual artists, writers, musicians and dancers. It's been great to get out of my usual routine and focus more on drawing. Furthering my enquiries into code and language, I have been working on a fictional mystical alphabet and the eye exam chart for this alphabet. I am preparing new designs for my newtons cradles and working on ideas for new narrative pictorial relief carvings, potentially inspired by the narrative paintings of Boyd that include characters from ancient myths set in the Australian landscape.
