AIR at Baptist Care Australia National Conference
I was invited to be the first artist (AIR) in residence at Daring Greatly, the Baptist Care Australia conference, at the Hyatt Regency, Perth, 7-9 October 2015.
My role was to participate in the conference through, developing a series of non-verbal responses to their discussions and speakers.
Over the day and half I created 9 sculptures during the talks and discussions.
The works were not altered after the event, apart from assembling the first and last works, and fired in a kiln and decorated.
I would particularly like to thank Jan Grimoldby, the Social Policy Developer at Baptistcare, for driving this initiative.
