Residency Year: 2025

Lives / Works: Sydney, Gadigal; Kiama, Dharawal; Shoalhaven, Wadi Wadi

Cathe Stack’s multi-disciplinary practice encompasses exploration of form to navigate connections between contemporary notions of landscape on the principle that understanding the structures and forces that shape landscape, fosters the means to create artefact.

Jaz Corr is an Aboriginal Visual Artist and Visual Arts Teacher based in Yuin country. Corr’s artwork reflects a critical view of social, political, cultural and environmental issues through effective visual communication appropriate to both studio practice and art critical discourse.

Nicole Smede is a multi-disciplinary artist of Warrimay/Birribay and colonial descent, living and creating on Wodi Wodi Dharawal Country. Proud of her heritage, a reconnection to ancestry, language and culture ripples through her work in voice, song, sound and poetry, exploring what it means to be ‘of Country’.

In Residence at Bundanon

Corr (visual artist), Smede (poet + voice artist) and Stack (visual artist) are undertaking a residency at Bundanon to consider, converse and creatively explore the ways in which Indigenous and non-Indigenous language/s describe the Country and Landscape of Yuin Land on the South Coast of NSW. Under the working title ‘Intercises of County and Landscape’ we will engage with the ways language can reveal pathways to greater understanding of connection and custodial relationships to the natural world.

Bundanon is situated on the Country of language groups Dharawal and Durga. We will respectfully engage with community elders before coming to Bundanon and have, through previous experience, developed a contact list.

We have mapped out environmental areas of interest at Bundanon and significant places in Yuin Country that hold special affinity to us and which we plan to explore through a series of site visits. Walking on these sites is our primary way to experience natural features and ecological systems whilst sharing stories and knowledge of these places and their significance culturally.

In Dharawal the word Bundanon means deep valley.
