GREEN SCREEN FESTIVAL
During our collaborative artist residency which was on hold for a few weeks Gabrielle managed to still create a fun video from the footage we took at the studio which is all about Naomi:
'Naomi is an ex-mermaid, Eco-crusader, fashionista model originally from Western Port Bay, Australia. She has a pet hamster and a message for the World...'
The blue costume I created on my residency in Western Port Bay from hay bale twine and videoed Gabrielle wearing it has been selected for the Peoples' choice for the inaugural Green Screen Film Festival.
To complete this fabulous clip Phil Solimans' great soundscape http://philsoliman.com

THE COVID MASK ART PROJECT
This Project came about during Covid-19 first lockdown. It now has its own Instagram page! The need to engage others became a reality with the #covidmaskartproject and allowed artists to create masks with what lay around them at home with no expectation on themselves. The idea was to have a play and create with materials you, as an artist, do not use on a daily base in your practice". Creative ideas of upcycling came flooding from across the globe to join this project which now has its own Instagram page : @covidmaskartproject. |

Western Port Bay
The 2020 Covid season or should I say Covid-19 year and 2 lockdowns allowed me to participate in 2 solo Artist Residency in April-May 2020 in Western Port Bay for 6 weeks this was so beneficial to my practice that I decided to go back in June during the 2nd lockdown to continue with playing with new materials such as blue hay bale twine (NAOMI project), sketching (as seen above) and allowing for quiet times and reflections during long walks and keep up with cleaning beaches of waste and gleaning for possible materials...
