VISUAL ARTS FELLOWSHIPS: ROBYN BACKEN, LINDY LEE, HILARIE MAIS
Robyn Backen, Lindy Lee and Hilarie Mais were awarded Fellowships for two years to undertake ambitious new projects and develop their artistic careers. Fellowships are only granted once in an artist’s lifetime with substantial support to research, reflect, create work, and expand their practice. Backen, Lee and Mais are all celebrated contemporary artists, working across drawing, projections, sculptural form and installation. The Australia Council has created a Fellowships Focus film to accompany the exhibition which profiles each artist’s practice and their personal tips when applying for funding from The Australia Council.
The installation EMPTINESS is drawn on 2 sides of a floating wall. It is a charcoal drawing made up of a question and and answer.
a question and an answer
How can one perceive the meaning of emptiness in the presence of a whisper?
Emptiness is form…..Form is emptiness
