Upcoming artist-in-residence: Taryn Raffan

Taryn Raffan

Taryn Raffan is a visual artist who currently lives on Meanjin Country in Brisbane QLD. She works across drawing, print, sculpture, assemblage and installation, to explore materials of dialogue alongside notions of isolation or comfort. Taryn's practice traverses some stark globalised realities and what is fantasised within ones own societal idea of attachment, belief, nature and spirituality. She has exhibited and participated in residencies in Australia, Greenland, Iceland, Scotland and the Netherlands. tarynraffan.com @taryn.raffan

After caring for a parent for the last 10 years I am eagerly excited to get back into making during my residency at Gunyah, and preparing for upcoming exhibition at Airspace Projects, on Gadigal Land, in Sydney, in early August 2023.
