In Residence at Bundanon

Accomplished printmaker Arthur Boyd collaborated and/or responded to the work of writers including T.S.R Boase, Peter Porter, A.D. Hope, Jack Lindsay and Peter Stark. In the process of creating prints, Boyd collaborated with printers Mati Basis, John Watson, Tony Deigan, Diana Davidson and John Hull. 

While in residence, Collerton plans to access the Bundanon Archive, which will provide valuable insight into Boyd’s creative journey and collaborations. Similarly, the opportunity to view Bundanon’s comprehensive holding of his prints, will provide a strong foundation in the development of an exhibition exploring Boyd’s print practice and subsequent collaborations with writers, galleries and printers.
