I’m thrilled to be involved with contour556 this year, with drawings on show at Thor’s Hammer Finishing Gallery and performance in the Sloughing Studio, Shop 8, Petrie Plaza, Civic on 30 October 2020 at 8pm.
The performance is free to attend and not ticketed. The space has limits on audience capacity to ensure COVID social distancing - so make sure to get there on time to be let in. I’m very fortunate to be working in a space that holds the collaborative works of Hanna Hoyne (Hoon), Byrd and Amanda Stuart and working with wonderful performers Caroline Huf and Pablo Latona .
These works are part of an ongoing project called The river diary which is focussed on the Molonglo River and surrounding areas. For this first instalment I’ve been working in an area where Sullivan’s Creek joins what is now Lake Burley Griffin, under the Mark Oliphant Bridge. This area has a rich pre-colonial Indigenous history, and a colonial history of being significantly changed by damming and bridge-building.
I’m fascinated by the nexus of the concrete architecture with the existing environment, and by the qualities of light and sound here.
