cultivating reciprocity (a message for the arts ecology) (2020) (in collaboration with Mary Mcintyre)

Online Group Exhibition

Audio

​

Presented by The Walls Artspace, Gold Coast and supported by Outer Space, Brisbane. 

​

Part contemplation, part advocacy, these artist koans are the product of a group therapy session with a collection of Brisbane-based emerging artists and local buddhist somatic psychotherapist and Insight meditation teacher, Mary McIntyre. Together we dove into our doubtings and reckonings with our local arts ecology; its capacity to cultivate artistic health, our capacity to cultivate a healthy ecology, and its relationship to our own practices and wellbeing. They were facilitated and recorded online in our respective homes, together while apart, during the beginning of the Covid-19 social distancing period.
