She uses traditional basketry techniques to transform foraged plant fibres into organic sculptural works. Catriona's unique sculptural work offers glimpses of shapeshifting natural forms, from unnoticed branches, leaves and vines into works that investigate human’s personal connection with the natural world.

To have everything I needed right there, in such a beautiful natural setting, just the sound of lapping water, birds, my materials, and my thoughts. There was a deepening of absorption and clarity around certain ideas such as what I ‘think is expected of me’ and what I want to do, (... there's nothing like getting away to get that clear!) and an experience of being free from expectations, which I feel everyone should feel occasionally. </span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmifeN0aNrsk66ViolmrqnvEaOO9tlHEZUTU4k_gNKbPQRqi76QR9IzMxrjKDAvrq402VPJimvdhObaQ0iivv2kJ_DXEBmNYs-6LS3ucvPBEwCo4X5BCJf1OxCzjI01yYssD32_spF3wyP7Y87IboGGvrdOCi38pnOf5dZeQL2YZZgAmE-A-cBIX3WWVLj/s4032/Aaron%20Aryadharma%20Matheson-2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmifeN0aNrsk66ViolmrqnvEaOO9tlHEZUTU4k_gNKbPQRqi76QR9IzMxrjKDAvrq402VPJimvdhObaQ0iivv2kJ_DXEBmNYs-6LS3ucvPBEwCo4X5BCJf1OxCzjI01yYssD32_spF3wyP7Y87IboGGvrdOCi38pnOf5dZeQL2YZZgAmE-A-cBIX3WWVLj/w400-h300/Aaron%20Aryadharma%20Matheson-2.jpeg" width="400" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">Aaron Aryadharma Matheson, sketch, Gunyah AIR September 2023</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><br />I also gained some clarity and insights into my topic of the Cosmos as seen through the James Webb telescope, and into mythology and art in general:<br /><blockquote><i>"Galaxies are unthinkable, but they have at their core principles that I can connect with, presence and mystery.

I woke to the local birds singing through their morning songs, beautiful sunshine with the occasional rainy day (which was just as special) and taking in the calming waters which incapsulated my every glance outward. I went walking and swimming most days at a nearby beach named Jimmy’s and learnt to understand the subtle variations in wind at Gunyah meant the beach was a no go. I observed the tides which are ever so present from the pier and really became interested in the intersection of the water and land meeting. It was so special to be able to look out upon a vast natural setting, especially reflecting upon my tiny apartment back in Brisbane which overlooks car parks, roofs and cement. My time at Gunyah really afforded me space, tranquility and an opportunity to look at my art making a little differently all whilst preparing for an upcoming exhibition.</span></p><div><span style="color: #666666;

However, the steady days of sunshine made it hard to resist the deck outside, from where we glimpsed dolphins passing through the cove as well as kookaburras, king parrots, and at the jetty a very friendly white duck… before lighting the fireplace by late afternoon.</span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwgKY7s4QIeEdV7IN67wUEeyZexfV7OawxSdUNYQqZvPyheRi6Zw9Jyz8CG-QMu8uAK5ucyRlowqjE2Uk3jwqSy4kxcNWH-aaGhSkNZotEQ4nTW1R9JqoNfXW4l6-mhzcxwVn4MTZ--IYts52hIseU0-ugOeSYA_i_RN63s2dOq7EOnt2LuFbMVJcNyNw1/w400-h300/Ada%20and%20duck.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">Jo Langdon, Ada and the duck at Gunyah </span></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwgKY7s4QIeEdV7IN67wUEeyZexfV7OawxSdUNYQqZvPyheRi6Zw9Jyz8CG-QMu8uAK5ucyRlowqjE2Uk3jwqSy4kxcNWH-aaGhSkNZotEQ4nTW1R9JqoNfXW4l6-mhzcxwVn4MTZ--IYts52hIseU0-ugOeSYA_i_RN63s2dOq7EOnt2LuFbMVJcNyNw1/s640/Ada%20and%20duck.JPG"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />From the house and on daily walks we watched the water in the cove change colour across the day, moving from a vivid sky blue to deep jade green to silver.

This residency offered such a generous setting, and made it possible to undertake a residency flexibly, as a family with a young child—a factor which can often preclude artist and writer parents/caregivers from residency opportunities. During our stay I worked on existing sections of my poetry manuscript, revisited source texts—particularly on the artist Alina Szapocznikow—and drafted new poems, but I’m also excited to see how generative the experiences of Gunyah might be in translating into future works.</span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

I started doing another round of edits on my novel <i>Totem</i>, a bit of a painful process - made much easier by all the distractions/inspirations nearby. The moon eclipsed and turned blood red on our second night there - we went and watched it down on the jetty. Another night we saw bioluminescence in the foam lapping at the shore of the boat ramp down the road. As promised by my friend Vanessa Berry (and as other artists in residence have mentioned in their reports), there were two very friendly sheep dogs just up the road who were available for pats on afternoon strolls; we also saw the silky backs of a pod of dolphins one sunset at the cove (after many fruitless evenings scanning the waves), were visited by kookaburras, and I returned several times to the Yacaaba headland to do the challenging walk to the summit. The window seat was my work station and I spent many hours there reading, thinking, half or fully asleep, and idly taking notes. Plans and schemes were formed and ideas took shape. I'd love to return one day. Thank you Gunyah!</span><br /><div style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Annelise Roberts</span></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Gunyah Residency Report</span></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">November 2022</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieJO5RIGQqSBm1cvAqdyIeWyCQPn8rJOVmKQzIE25TzDg3vkNlSuIDFXJJkM4Kc8isGQ-Cw0eauG2FXP1Ixlc1IgjAq8gLeyMCNNPhn_UearIvcI-yrnzi4zcQ9xgGtedCpsCbT9q_aI__ytQEjTbnWPrj9NOY46uylB-8tp5e8Yjnpv5aH0wzX47HZQ/s4032/IMG_4869.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieJO5RIGQqSBm1cvAqdyIeWyCQPn8rJOVmKQzIE25TzDg3vkNlSuIDFXJJkM4Kc8isGQ-Cw0eauG2FXP1Ixlc1IgjAq8gLeyMCNNPhn_UearIvcI-yrnzi4zcQ9xgGtedCpsCbT9q_aI__ytQEjTbnWPrj9NOY46uylB-8tp5e8Yjnpv5aH0wzX47HZQ/w480-h640/IMG_4869.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOamjY_li4tyAhHlh-7IUyta-lrkPWTgYbesvKTwVP6HEoY_kd8KRW6cNREZ-12RG2u0sSsA_hUYguDF074AkAsqjCL_AyMd50KC3qEqOwluJJ0t1BEDHJJ94r31gwwnBfkxy_sdzMlUfye1iJNQUwrU0pW169YL2nOAeB1TcKbP9Hn9ioDpBo_41x9w/s4032/IMG_4990.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOamjY_li4tyAhHlh-7IUyta-lrkPWTgYbesvKTwVP6HEoY_kd8KRW6cNREZ-12RG2u0sSsA_hUYguDF074AkAsqjCL_AyMd50KC3qEqOwluJJ0t1BEDHJJ94r31gwwnBfkxy_sdzMlUfye1iJNQUwrU0pW169YL2nOAeB1TcKbP9Hn9ioDpBo_41x9w/w480-h640/IMG_4990.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">My time at Gunyah was very productive. I set up downstairs, with my computer, monitors, midi controllers and guitar, with a full window view of the bushy back yard and North Arm Cove waters. It was a dynamic setting, there was always weather, bird wars and boats to watch from the still and contemplative room. I managed to write a substantial chunk of an audio/visual piece of music I had been envisaging. This is the first piece of music I have written with actual music notation for possibly 10 years, so it was nice to connect with that style of working again. I found the residency productive in the standard sense, the sense I was expecting, but I also found it to be productive on a deeper level. The landscape, the atmosphere, and the inward facing process of writing music that is yet to be played unearthed some emotional holdings that I didn’t know were there. In this way the residency became a space to explore and process these feelings and really confront unexamined beliefs I have about myself as an artist and composer. Hard feelings at times, but so refreshing to unearth, process and return back to Melbourne feeling quite different. I look forward to developing further what I started at Gunyah next year.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Jack Palmer</span></div><div style="text-align: right;"><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Gunyah Residency Report</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">November 2022</span></div></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0sincE2UnhUNwiKuuDtYQZ1D6DoOcd8uXJO6F8bW9DIKU6y-2w6xFQY-e3uvam9I6XrdE572yVS5z8uLmYnXL5Xuoq3WIsJ1andsQ9WFP3gvYKE2HK2JB8z42e8Y81QQ7OCWKMCC8rJvwLvOLH0pi2K8yOWgW8E1Z9OsvaZIh76kTo46-ltaS3YPEzA/s4032/IMG_9831.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0sincE2UnhUNwiKuuDtYQZ1D6DoOcd8uXJO6F8bW9DIKU6y-2w6xFQY-e3uvam9I6XrdE572yVS5z8uLmYnXL5Xuoq3WIsJ1andsQ9WFP3gvYKE2HK2JB8z42e8Y81QQ7OCWKMCC8rJvwLvOLH0pi2K8yOWgW8E1Z9OsvaZIh76kTo46-ltaS3YPEzA/w400-h300/IMG_9831.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9e_IOZtVxU8_lRItM0GPU51QKySAGARNJsw7wcgJgmNMswS70U_Hx0boPiNLHE7FxaGhogrSBv-icYGKasyUO0jEIgAFbutAqZ4t4dYdsgwUcuot2J6Hw67Zdyav7ihxNIDOEIwWxFNT-1SjlI5OhvGy2jRQHKbTjIq1I2TZRQqNT-ToQp6z74FTQwA/s4032/IMG_9825.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9e_IOZtVxU8_lRItM0GPU51QKySAGARNJsw7wcgJgmNMswS70U_Hx0boPiNLHE7FxaGhogrSBv-icYGKasyUO0jEIgAFbutAqZ4t4dYdsgwUcuot2J6Hw67Zdyav7ihxNIDOEIwWxFNT-1SjlI5OhvGy2jRQHKbTjIq1I2TZRQqNT-ToQp6z74FTQwA/w400-h300/IMG_9825.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Kath Frieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08375133730470803491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3228120013061259088.post-14362520182304965192022-11-17T19:20:00.000-08:002022-11-17T19:20:33.296-08:00Residency Report: The Bowerbird Collective<span style="font-family: verdana;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH6CIRteuRWqCoBoEgFfOAj0Ejkt1e6TthdIrAH22jEvC_6TuUiCf6PV2HGN4HWVdzBuHdvzsxWEn0gCjZ7hBT0v8gPpi8f2O7H5oONaWeLGVlEkLn0aeLVchrdotsU57qQOWwU3fEaJKRVVlHlrVIidhdML3ViSSkgwWtLh8o3kMAfXfPytU3Jw40EQ/s4032/image_50451713.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH6CIRteuRWqCoBoEgFfOAj0Ejkt1e6TthdIrAH22jEvC_6TuUiCf6PV2HGN4HWVdzBuHdvzsxWEn0gCjZ7hBT0v8gPpi8f2O7H5oONaWeLGVlEkLn0aeLVchrdotsU57qQOWwU3fEaJKRVVlHlrVIidhdML3ViSSkgwWtLh8o3kMAfXfPytU3Jw40EQ/w400-h300/image_50451713.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div> The Bowerbird Collective spent ten blissful days at Gunyah.

Her fiction, poetry and criticism have appeared in <i>Cordite, Plumwood Mountain, Going Down Swinging, Rabbit Journal</i> and elsewhere. She was awarded the 2021 A. D. Hope Prize by the Association for the Study of Australian Literature, and the manuscript for her unpublished novel <i>Totem</i> was shortlisted for the 2022 Penguin Literary Prize. Her creative interests include experimental diarising, working with unfamiliar technical/scientific languages and archival material, and the personal essay. <br /><br /><i>I plan to use the Gunyah residency to finalise edits for my novel Totem, which explores the legacy of the British nuclear testing in South Australia in the 1950s through a family lineage. I also hope to continue work on a collection of creative essays on a range of topics, including Australian suburban garden aesthetics, the 2003 Canberra bushfires, and lyrebirds and mimesis. Although I’ve developed a particular approach to writing these essays, I don’t yet have a sense of the shape of the collection as a whole – the residency will be a great opportunity to spend some time thinking about this.</i></span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcaP02sSjWWRpjcIGcusGp9os1d3iVnhZoNQr6ZimF9-CN4TBQzsQVQ3vw4PFp6k0NIQrXzjlmbjQs3X_tWP4wbOJBuhKOFMY4kF5hwOMi4kAvr6cCMNI_DVbqLCJB3hP-s5Q3on7xP3icVbDkPKlxWux_J_aJI0EK2lzpu2ettv4BOw72gWUcqTDTWA/s2248/A%20ROB%201.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2248" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcaP02sSjWWRpjcIGcusGp9os1d3iVnhZoNQr6ZimF9-CN4TBQzsQVQ3vw4PFp6k0NIQrXzjlmbjQs3X_tWP4wbOJBuhKOFMY4kF5hwOMi4kAvr6cCMNI_DVbqLCJB3hP-s5Q3on7xP3icVbDkPKlxWux_J_aJI0EK2lzpu2ettv4BOw72gWUcqTDTWA/w268-h400/A%20ROB%201.jpg" width="268" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Annelise Roberts, 'Pine', 2019. 35mm film</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></span><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />Jack is an artist, music producer, guitarist and music educator. He works with computer music production, improvisation, video, and installation. Jack’s work is characterised by paradox and emotional contradiction - urgency held by meditative equipoise. In 2013 Jack graduated from the ANU School of Music with a major in jazz guitar. Since then he has featured as a performer/artist at ACCA, La Mama Theatre, Testing Grounds, George Patton Gallery, One Night in Footscray, and West Projections Festival, among others. He has collaborated with dancers, visual artists, musicians, and poets, and has composed and performed across electronic music, jazz, post-rock, and experimental genres.<span style="color: #2b00fe;"> <a href="http://www.jackpalmer.net/" target="_blank">www.jackpalmer.net</a></span><br /><br /><i>For a number of years I have been interested in the potential of synaesthetic perception, such as mental imagery in hearing, or psycho-aural sensation in seeing. For me these experiences suggest the potential of a unified perception, a cognisance that apprehends phenomena before they are objectified as images, sounds, physical textures etc. As part of my exploration of this, I have been playing around with “charging” objects with non-conceptual or "felt-meaning" using sound. This just means developing a strong association between an object and a sound. Sound can produce non-conceptual meaning — music is the obvious example — and objects can be containers for non-conceptual meaning. So, how can we play with this artistically? Can we charge objects with non-conceptual felt-meaning using sound? How does the sound change our experience of the object and how does the object change our experience of the sound? What meaning could be produced in such a situation? For my Gunyah residency I plan to work on an audio-visual music composition that utilises and explores this very ordinary yet habitually unexamined phenomenon. The opportunity to share the residency with my partner Annelise and develop our ideas together is also very inspirational.</i></span></div></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcAlx6GbY_mj5YPW3r41ngKLyCXcjtvt3B9bzRQjP-BVZ8ZZmG1D1MT4nBeXpf_iudqApixhXAzySy45SQX9LN6srHLhZyJUrgo2dEpSbr6fAzK8VbluRuH_Bjx8vN_6buYUfL_IKPmVME4sftc4yE7seqfH8jOCL5ECXCTgg9vc7ZXBPQzImxzD3ZkQ/s2048/J%20PAL%201.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="color: black;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1154" data-original-width="2048" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcAlx6GbY_mj5YPW3r41ngKLyCXcjtvt3B9bzRQjP-BVZ8ZZmG1D1MT4nBeXpf_iudqApixhXAzySy45SQX9LN6srHLhZyJUrgo2dEpSbr6fAzK8VbluRuH_Bjx8vN_6buYUfL_IKPmVME4sftc4yE7seqfH8jOCL5ECXCTgg9vc7ZXBPQzImxzD3ZkQ/w400-h225/J%20PAL%201.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Jack Palmer, <i>Soma,</i><span style="text-align: start;"> La Mama Theatre</span>.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><i><br /></i></span></div>Kath Frieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08375133730470803491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3228120013061259088.post-75707901654805025732022-10-09T00:49:00.006-07:002022-10-10T18:11:01.401-07:00Upcoming artists-in-residence: The Bowerbird Collective <span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="467" data-original-width="700" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBOB1RzX5oKryWBUV3PXy7Nf3Xg-nK7BJlJhEKAntGa7IUaDrq5aMkugiMA2kqkNCgIo4Olu5sNal7FVKPii6EJlxvteqWo44yfDQDLEteshYGvz2NBtwyn4XyUy1DUpLIx9oQXz319-5BdfEq9h9zJT5j1vpt4Cb9g9yKFdDqMn0JWSwDXVSvMnspqg/w400-h266/off%20track%20both%20image%20credit%20ABC%20Tiger%20Webb.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">The Bowerbird Collective.

Although a mixed offering with the weather, the first few days were incredibly warm (for me) – almost tropical, and a wonderful treat. For the first three nights of my residency, my partner Dave was with me. On the second day, we headed off in the kayaks to One Tree Island, over near Soldiers Point (which I call Santorini because it looks like the Greek island of Santorini in the distance). I really enjoyed being on the water in the kayak, the sun hot on my body. When Dave and I arrived at the island, I stripped off to my bikini and went back into the water – which prompted a fisherman in a little dinghy to ask: ‘Are you crazy or what?’ When I answered, ‘I’m from Armidale!’, he laughed knowingly. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQhLV3ig-WoFeRBP-U1bn9Z9v3AhyYYK001U7-WkCJmrj7ajMVNj6jpkQLz7BHH2BfYA5NwojPh4-ZIdKCgIChn84MhemfUvltDYlf-DFi9OqLKspzjRqGfUITshtKUsepuPSsaPi91rIaSVngoGaQyWcxtM2KHctjHGqjIVnsOxldU9XMgFGiyjRUxQ/s3264/Gunyah%20sunrise.JPG"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQhLV3ig-WoFeRBP-U1bn9Z9v3AhyYYK001U7-WkCJmrj7ajMVNj6jpkQLz7BHH2BfYA5NwojPh4-ZIdKCgIChn84MhemfUvltDYlf-DFi9OqLKspzjRqGfUITshtKUsepuPSsaPi91rIaSVngoGaQyWcxtM2KHctjHGqjIVnsOxldU9XMgFGiyjRUxQ/w480-h640/Gunyah%20sunrise.JPG" width="480" /></a><br /><br />As a writer with a busy life, I always say I want ‘time alone’ but I think the Gunyah is a treat to be shared. A place to mix up time alone with time to socialise in the late afternoon and evening – which is why I’m coming back for a week next February with my writing group. I’m sure they’ll love the Gunyah as much as I do. But even though I felt the absence of others, I enjoyed the uninterrupted time to work and read and think. Like many visitors to the Gunyah, I loved the window seat in the loungeroom, where I sat each morning with my coffee and journal, marvelling at the paradise out the window. Ditto for the back verandah. I also loved the jetty – that feeling of being on a bridge to nowhere. Whenever I needed a break from my work, I’d wander down the path to the jetty. The surface of the water always so varied from the tides or the wind; my favourite was when the water was dusky blue and smooth as glass. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1D9weviInMbyrLfOzKeCx1q3ABz_0MWOcptzvkwh0AZfIIhwTqCfjnZqps5rZgvq4AzxkAnJuR8y4G_aP4WysNxgNbOrG_oXyWhqnMMx09wtcOERvvT7qA071nGOESXH_SubOr527yV88QvWqioUzqgIJQ9r-LBXg1lYrNpeBml7OaPESo-zkBY3vQQ/s3264/The%20jetty.JPG"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1D9weviInMbyrLfOzKeCx1q3ABz_0MWOcptzvkwh0AZfIIhwTqCfjnZqps5rZgvq4AzxkAnJuR8y4G_aP4WysNxgNbOrG_oXyWhqnMMx09wtcOERvvT7qA071nGOESXH_SubOr527yV88QvWqioUzqgIJQ9r-LBXg1lYrNpeBml7OaPESo-zkBY3vQQ/w480-h640/The%20jetty.JPG" width="480" /></a><br /><br />I love how I now have an ongoing connection with North Arm Cove, and how the residents and their dogs (particularly the two Border Collies on the walk to Heros Beach) are so friendly. I wanted to make it to a Coffee Morning at the North Arm Community Hall, but that’s for next time. Thanks to all who make the Gunyah possible – it really is a home away from home. <br /><br /><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666; font-family: verdana;">Helena Pastor</span></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666; font-family: verdana;">Gunyah residency report</span></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666; font-family: verdana;">August 2022</span></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.helenapastor.com/" style="color: #888888; font-family: verdana; text-decoration: none;">www.helenapastor.com</a> </div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>Kath Frieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08375133730470803491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3228120013061259088.post-39070878736256086102022-08-08T14:34:00.002-07:002022-08-08T14:34:31.689-07:00 Residency report: Wendy Tsai<span style="font-family: verdana;"><blockquote>" . . .

Having spent the last 18 months on a large scale mural project, yet to be installed, I knew I needed to ‘re-frame’ and find a new more experimental way of winding away from that work. I also wanted to let Gunyah inform me, to offer up its small epiphanies.<br /><br />Gunyah wooed me into a stillness, a gifted patience that disarmed pretence. Initially, I played with a couple of representational drawings, imagining myself into a daily ritual, but the place required something more connected to the rhythms and patterns, the sounds and life of organic things. </span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5QuqdvYZNHVaomC8WmFjj26ytbTwR8TMFGShcxOXO2exnsSItWQ_grD1Ry-mZ57ih0P9jh21JyqbmWkAtprEAR1XcI3zhqf8ROQlFn-cMiYXu-uKsbIotEGgak5cMgpNntXTVNbYcLgsqGvPXXGIyWJPi4k5DNOgB4LxJX4MKziffuGz38qV2WO9UJg/s984/image1.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="789" data-original-width="984" height="321" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5QuqdvYZNHVaomC8WmFjj26ytbTwR8TMFGShcxOXO2exnsSItWQ_grD1Ry-mZ57ih0P9jh21JyqbmWkAtprEAR1XcI3zhqf8ROQlFn-cMiYXu-uKsbIotEGgak5cMgpNntXTVNbYcLgsqGvPXXGIyWJPi4k5DNOgB4LxJX4MKziffuGz38qV2WO9UJg/w400-h321/image1.png" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">Wendy Tsai, Gunyah residency photos</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />I had brought a range of materials with the hope I might make some large ink brushwork, which by the second day seemed entirely appropriate to a new physical and gestural abstraction. I was finding a kind of new language to respond to North Arm Cove and the surrounding bush, water and seascapes. I was reminded of the work of Australian artist G.W. Bot who intuitively maps the landscape through a personal language of glyphs, and also of Franz Kline, the American abstract expressionist, 1940-60. These research diversions were delightful indulgences. I also read Ursula Le Guin’s <i>The Word for World is Forest</i> (1972), which paralleled my navigation of human habitation and the native beauty of North Arm Cove. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVLXEOUmJg3XagCnD6mMy4bIu0R4-AsMDEIOD1bDrHcVhQre0Pp8Ten_QqntNTByWW1LTzIpPFyeyTlSbVkpx76fzvE2O2hXLRWeA0me152H3rE04wiFoXa_CP7mI40FSLIV4afVf-7rsEp73z1GEn0aCXJiNBtCkF0FKrlJuPJyE9MzjlFbe6qBzafQ/s1050/Floor%20shot.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="787" data-original-width="1050" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVLXEOUmJg3XagCnD6mMy4bIu0R4-AsMDEIOD1bDrHcVhQre0Pp8Ten_QqntNTByWW1LTzIpPFyeyTlSbVkpx76fzvE2O2hXLRWeA0me152H3rE04wiFoXa_CP7mI40FSLIV4afVf-7rsEp73z1GEn0aCXJiNBtCkF0FKrlJuPJyE9MzjlFbe6qBzafQ/w400-h300/Floor%20shot.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">Wendy Tsai, drawings in the Gunyah studio</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />Wanting to work with the blackness of my brushstrokes, I collaged shapes cut from National Geographic magazines, later drawing into the shapes and brushstrokes to mimic some of the patterns which I found in the sand and water.

She has completed two postgraduate degrees on Creative Nonfiction writing and her first book, Wild Boys: A Parent’s Story of Tough Love (UQP, 2015) is an intimate insight into reconnecting troubled teenagers with their families and communities. In 2020, she received a New England Writers’ Centre/Varuna Fellowship and Create NSW funding to develop her third book-length manuscript: ‘One Fork, One Knife, One Life’ – a memoir based around the wartime and migration experiences of her Dutch mother and their mother/daughter relationship. She is also a songwriter and enjoys collaborating with other artists. What you plan to do during your residency: I will be enjoying the natural beauty of The Gunyah and North Arm Cove, working on a second draft of ‘One Fork, One Knife, One Life’, writing about growing up in the Berry Bakery, and my family's long history with Seven Mile Beach National Park, NSW. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

While attracted to and nourished by the natural environment surrounding her home on Dharug and Gundungurra Country, in the Blue Mountains, Wendy also recognises the devastating impact of climate change and human interference, allowing this disquiet to inform her work, through intimate reveries that are both tangible and ethereal. Relying on an embodied knowledge of place, Wendy has a ritual of walking to experience and adapt to the idiosyncrasies of the natural world. She also photographs, collects and manipulates digitally the images that hold specific memories of place. Her drawings are an attempt to ‘be in’ place through a peaceable communion grounded in the landscape. Wendy regularly at the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre Gallery. She also has work in collections in Tasmania and in the Kedumba Drawing Collection.<br /><br /><i><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfL0qL-DokaZ3ymsQzNTyXdwuu1OBQXO-AWoUjPPyIpj-xaPgaCMkecsz0eHgYdoFMdKN5_ul1meh9vnOCyLl2rw_8TXgTbclKyqJGqFi_Hdd4qZZToEFUHjoWqtgD3O0nCcV7jK8W6QOo5GSiTGnVfCLpWzJrkdb-yqCmdQNHBnGc9FWODyZStbgnyQ/s1500/Inside%20out%20%232.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1117" data-original-width="1500" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfL0qL-DokaZ3ymsQzNTyXdwuu1OBQXO-AWoUjPPyIpj-xaPgaCMkecsz0eHgYdoFMdKN5_ul1meh9vnOCyLl2rw_8TXgTbclKyqJGqFi_Hdd4qZZToEFUHjoWqtgD3O0nCcV7jK8W6QOo5GSiTGnVfCLpWzJrkdb-yqCmdQNHBnGc9FWODyZStbgnyQ/w400-h297/Inside%20out%20%232.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Wendy Tsai, <i>Inside out #3</i>, 2020, graphite on paper, 55 x 75cm</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>During my residency at Gunyah, I intend to rest from a hectic routine of family support, to walk, to sit, to reflect and process the stillness in the context of such beautiful natural surroundings.
