This survey exhibition presents work from a selection of the artist fellows during the five years of the ANU Vice-Chancellor’s College Artist Fellowship scheme. Supported by funding from the Vice-Chancellor, this innovative scheme is the first of its kind in an Australian University, and demonstrates the high regard in which visual arts and practice-led research is held at the ANU. The scheme aims to promote collaborative research between disciplines in the University and provide opportunities for developing future trans-disciplinary ARC funded projects in which practice-led research and creative design logic would be embedded.

My work in the show includes a selection of inkjet prints that I made during my 2014 collaboration with Dr Sally Brockwell, Professor Sue O’Connor and staff and students of the Department of Archaeology  & Natural History at the College of Asia & the Pacific. It also includes new work that I have undertaken through a collaboration with Associate Professor Anne Clarke, from the University of Sydney. Some of that collaboration can be seen under New Work.
