Bundanon

Virginia Hilyard is a visual and media artist whose practice is grounded in an experimental aesthetic and an interest in the convergence of digital and analogue image-making – using technology and the hand-made mark. Producing film, video, sound and installation work since 1985, Hilyard has contributed widely to moving image culture in Australia and overseas and has worked collaboratively with artists of other disciplines including composers, sculptors, poets, writers and performance artists.

Hilyard was in residence at Bundanon in 2016 with Sue Pedley. Together they worked on ‘Stones of Wood’, the second part of a collaborative drawing and soundproject in the Sydney Basin area. The artists made a series of large graphite rubbings and sound recordings of the stone and timber buildings, sandstone escarpments and bushland at Bundanon.
