In Residence at Bundanon

During my residency at Bundanon I propose to develop a new body of site-specific, kinetic paper installations that explores the intersection of environmental connection, material innovation and spatial experience. As an artist working across installation and printmaking, I am particularly interested in embodied responses to place and how our interactions with natural waterways reflect and shape our relationship with the environment.
