The Disquietude Trophy Project

We all have struggles in life. This project is about visually acknowledging everyday battles you have endured and overcome – by creating a trophy symbolising your resilience.

The trophies will be created through a series of three-hour workshops facilitated by Kate Cotching, an artist and social worker. The trophies produced will be displayed in the Mildura Arts Centre Foyer, and participants will be able to take their work home at the end of the

exhibition.

Artist In Residence, Ashfield NSW, August to October 2015

From the 11th of August until the 30th of October 2015 I lived and worked in the historic Thirning Villa in Ashfield NSW. The Residency was part of Ashfield council's Artist In Residence program.
During this time I produced some of the work for my exhibition We lost and we won at Ararat Regional Art Gallery and ran a number of community arts projects, including an exhibition titled Out of the cube in Thirning Villa, a sculpture workshop, and an award ribbon making activity in the main street as part of Ashfield Council's Frolic in the Forecourt.
