My daughter was walking to school and said the words “I wish I could eat from everyone’s garden all the way to school”.

We talked and “D.I.G.S” was born. D.I.G.S is an indigenous garden and outdoor learning space, located in the local Narrawong District Primary School, informed by the […]

Through the creation of two divergent installations, a plastic #dystopia and a pre and post-plastic #utopia participants explored how our current choices, as consumers, influences the future health of our local environment. Accordingly, in this space, participants experienced the sensory differences in constructing an installation with all natural materials verses […]

Artist/Photographer Catherine Bailey The thing about creativity is that it is non linear in motion. It preempts future outcomes that you are unaware of. Take this half boat.

Now she is destined for BOAA or the Biennale of Australian Art in Ballarat. Come and join in her transformation or for a chat at the […]

Recently one of my artworks was in the Wyndham Art Prize. It is part of a series of works based around stories, from the town i grew up in, in Australia. These works look at the what is hidden over time in the soil. Nobody knows what is real or true anymore and what is myth. I guess, also, it has to do with what was happening in my life at the time. Painting and its subject matter sometimes becomes a way […]

Finding loads of shoe boxes decorated with a running river theme, combined with a flood story from a local elder, I made this installation of the flood watermark on the outside of the Permewan’s shed, in Hamilton, in 2015. It was a quick response to the immediate environment and history of the shed. I love the tag on the outside of the shed. Bummer it is not mine. I prefer working on the outside of a building and thanks to artist Trevor Flinn for the opportunity to do […]
