I was offered a Bundanon residency in April 2023. It was fabulous to have two weeks to immerse myself in the extraordinary creative and historical environment of Bundanon.

Through a practice of embodied attunement, my process attempts to break the spell of dominant narratives and allow a re-enchantment of place. Attunement explores the connection of feeling between people and place, animated by the presence and experience of being alive to the world. The residency gave me the opportunity to generate performance scores whilst having the time to rejoice in the ‘eros’ of making in place surrounded by other focused artists. The entwinement of colonial, planetary and personal/artistic histories offered me a unique time of creative reflection: This ancient country – our presence here now – how to be here and make together.
