TWIG Residency

October 02, 2014 in Uncategorized

During September I completed a 10 day TWIG residency in north western Victoria. The idea behind the residency is to pair artists with local farmers that culminates in an art event (the TWIG) on the host farmers property. Spending time with the host farmers gave me a real insight into contemporary farming and working with the land. I explored the local landscape, took lots of photos, worked on some paintings and produced a few video works that were projected at the TWIG event.It was a great opportunity not only to be a part of an interesting project that links art with agriculture, but also to take a closer look at a part of the Australian landscape i'd only ever driven through briefly.
