Residencies

Inspired by the pastoral surroundings in regional Victoria I composed a bush ballad about a local shearer and a series of collage featuring native Australian animals. However, the majority of my time was spent walking around Lake Wallace, playing lawn bowls and editing my novel, Average Intelligence. I would like to thank Country Arts SA and the Regional Arts Fund for supporting my residency.

I spent the month without my phone or internet – it was bliss. Food tastes better. Dreams more vivid, and I explored new creative practises, focusing on a series of collage about the Camino De Santiago, along with a rude limerick zine and several poems inspired by the Finnish countryside.
