Artist In Residence @ The Geelong Botanic Gardens
This residency allowed me to create and explore a body of work within the space of the Geelong Botanical Gardens. These ephemeral installations took on the concept of ‘Earth as Clay', which is about going beneath the surface and making the dark unseen aspects part of the human periphery. This enabled the earth to be shaped above and below the surface taking on a process of construction and deconstruction, evolving over a period of time by weathering, decay and growth, which can create a new variation if not a completely different piece of artwork. It is a process that is about working in collaboration with mother earth. The out comes of this residence broadened the perceptions of the way the Geelong Botanic Gardens was used and seen, creating greater scope for diversity.
