This artist in residency worked like artists embedded with the military. Karen Richards, Gareth Colliton and myself joined the Warrnambool Emergency Department of South West Health Care, for three months, to observe staff and (consenting) patients then make art in response to what they experienced.
This project culminated in an exhibition, opened by Guy Ben-Ary, at Scope Gallery in Warrnambool.
We were featured in Spoonful, Imprint and Embelish Magazines and presented a paper at the Art of Good Health and Wellbeing Conference. Below are a number of the articles written about the project.
