Thank you for the opportunity to be the first STA AIR for 2023. It has been a great start to 2023, and kickstarted me into creating some new works and exploring different materials. I think this opportunity has also really made me think about my art practice outside of the university experience, and how I might practice in the future. The Hive was a great base to work out of, and I encountered many locals when I was working on the verandah, and had some wonderful conversations about art and life.
During the STA AiR at the QBN Hive, Lisa will explored place, particularly the river in Queanbeyan to further understand it’s history, and current state. Lisa explored the plants that grow along the river to create natural dyes to modify materials sourced from Queanbeyan op shops.
