Mary Cairncross Reserve Art Residency 15-25 October , 2021
As the creative researcher on the Art + Entomology project I will be following scientists from the Queensland Museum during their 6 day research programme in the rainforest and recording their discoveries in paper, ink and paint.
Following the research programme there will be a 4 day public engagement programme - Tiny Giants . There will be a variety of workshops, panel discussions and guided walks with the scientists. Refer to the link for the Tiny Giant events below. What an opportunity this is for everyone to learn about invertebrates.
The 10 day residency will be followed by an exhibition of artwork inspired by the research project. The exhibition will be at the Mary Cairncross Reserve Discovery Centre in April, 2022.
I am looking forward to this project and particularly creating paper insects.
