Resource Removal - Collaborative work with Pamela Kusabs
Winner - 2019 Holding Redlich Art For Life Prize ($10,000 award); 2020 States of Diversity QRAA Touring Exhibition (various locations in QLD)
The artists considered the theme ‘State of Diversity’ both geographically and psychologically. The resulting artwork was an exchange between two different individuals, with empathy, trust and an understanding of another’s perception, the key to the collaborative outcome. Destruction and preservation became an integral part of creation, as each artist contributed to either the beginning or end of the structure. Strategies of how to respond to 'the object', to letting go of concrete connections to place, and to the production of a ‘cohesive’ visual language were explored in the undertaking. Collaboration has, at its foundation, the idea of bringing diversity together through compassion.
Resource Removal focuses on the environment and the impact that human inhabitation has on our natural surroundings.
