Jo Grant and Sandra Winkworth: September artists-in-residence

Our time at Gunyah was so valuable and conducive to playing with ideas and making work. We talked so much about future projects and concepts and the atmosphere made it very easy to concentrate on our individual projects. Despite the beautiful surroundings, we barely made it out of the cabin, there was so much to do and inspiration was abundant. It was an incredible gift to be able to dedicate time and space to the practice of art. This is what Gunyah gives its artists in residence, time to focus amongst surroundings that inspire and relax the mind.

In particular, at Gunyah we were able to further develop our upcoming collaborative installation in regional Victoria, which will be exhibited in December. We live in different states so the opportunity to come together and consolidate our ideas and processes for the project was wonderful and productive. A big thank you to the Fries family and Gunyah for making it possible.
