Design Direction & Artist Facilitation – 2019 to 2023
I call bringing an Artist’s work to life ‘Artist Facilitation’ – like a conduit for their work which is reconfigured, redesigned & brought to life for new audiences and experiences.
From the sublime underwater designs of Francoise Lane, to the intimate story of ‘Navigation By the Stars’ from Arone Meeks a Kuku Midigi man, to the tropical world of Hayley Gillespie, and the dreamy abstract plant watercolours by Roland Nancarrow, this festival showcases the artists from the local region of Cairns and North Queensland in all its colour, vibrancy and diversity. Always a joy to work on.
From top line to bottom line below: Roland Nancarrow, Francoise Lane, Arone Meeks & Hayley Gillespie.
