Elizabeth Paterson and I opened our exhibition Double Vision: Corin Dam Residency this weekend at Tuggeranong Arts Centre (Canberra) with a beautiful musical response by Chris Stone. The exhibition continues until Dec 17. Elizabeth and I will give an artist talk in conversation with Brett McNamara, Manager of Namadgi National Park on Thurs 3rd Dec 6pm.
My work was inspired by walks up Stockyard Spur and Mt Gingera from Corin Dam during the CraftACT 2019 Spring Residency supported by ACT Parks. It also became about the changes I witnessed - from the Springtime residency (Oct 2019) to returning after the fires in the winter snow (Aug 2020). Meanwhile Elizabeth was interested in the importance of the Cotter catchment and tracked the water supply from the mountains down to our taps.
