Artist-in-Residence
Central Craft
My aim for the artist-in-residence at Central Craft in Mparntwe /Alice Springs (May and June 2023) was to immerse myself in the landscape with the expectation I would gain an understanding of the deep spiritual connection between ‘place’ and people.
I found Tjoritja (the MacDonnell Ranges) was a landscape like no other. The visual, sensory immensity of the country and the aroused emotions for the earth was palpable – the colours, the rock formations, the eco-systems, plants, animals, the visible timeline of millions of years.
While at Central Craft I did test clay and explore ideas for The Self Reconciliation Project exhibition. However it is now time to go into the studio in earnest and make new work that articulates the project’s two lines of inquiry and perspectives – family history and connection to place – to tell stories that hopefully imparts a deeper understanding of cultural histories and differences.

The Self Reconciliation Project (May and June 2023)
As artist-in-residence at Central Craft in Mparntwe (Alice Springs) I continued to explore the notion of self reconciliation.
