25.01.2022 The next artist-in-residence is Melinda Young, she is a contemporary craft artist whose work spans jewellery, textiles, installation and interactive public art projects. She has exhibited extensively in Australia andinternationally since 1997, her work is held in public collections and included in numerous publications. Melinda’s practice primarily engages with the idea of ‘place’ and explorations of materiality, with an emphasis on found or re-purposed materials as vehicles ...for narrative explorations of the landscape and the people who inhabit it. "During my residency at Gunyah I will develop a new sequence of research work for my PhD. This research involves reflection and immersion in place, looking at practices of navigating and mapping to understand how place can be reflected in a wearable object. By working in different locales, this work also reflects on the notion of the souvenir as an object collected in place. Working on location/in place extends my material and skills-based language through the necessary development of adaptive making practices. I will also write; consolidating my research for interviewing contemporary jewellers whose practice sees them mapping different locations." - continue reading - http://gunyah.blogspot.com//upcoming-artist-in-residence-m See more

23.01.2022 Introducing our final artists-in-residence for 2020, Isabelle Devos and Helena Pastor from Armidale NSW. "... We are two friends an artist and a writer who have been living in a drought-stricken landscape, looking forward to a focused time away from family and other responsibilities to meet up for a restorative creative residency at Gunyah. Our new collaboration will be nurtured by spending time together in a house made with love and good intentions, surrounded by water ...and bushland. We are excited by the possibilities and projects that may emerge between painter and writer words and thoughts, textures and stories. We hope to explore ideas around family, memories, and the flora and fauna of the beautiful Port Stephens area..." - you can follow their residency @gunyahartists on Instragam and read more about their practices on the Gunyah AIR blog - http://gunyah.blogspot.com//isabelle-devos-and-helena-past See more

17.01.2022 The final artists' residency report for 2020 - Isabelle Devos & Helena Pastor. "As I unpacked my car in the driveway at Gunyah, I marvelled at the simple natural beauty of the place. The following ten days were long, restful and creative. Never before have I had such time to myself to devote to creative introspection and outward expression..." Isabelle (extract). "Over the ten days of our residency, my world became very small and I often felt like I was living on a peaceful tropical island...I particularly enjoyed the jetty at Gunyah, where I tuned in to the tides, listened to the water gently lap against the shoreline, and occasionally spotted dolphins..." Helena (extract). Read their residency reports in full on the Gunyah blog - http://gunyah.blogspot.com//residency-report-isabelle-devo

13.01.2022 The next artist-in-residence at Gunyah is Anne McCallum - Images by Anne - an artist living in Nug Nug, on Mogullumbidj land in North East Victoria. Working across textiles, sculpture, photography and video, Anne is currently finishing her Masters in Fine Art at RMIT University in Melbourne. Her impermanent, delicate sculptures are woven from organic materials. Anne's focus on materiality creates a connection to origin and engages with natural cycles. She also works with medi...tative moving images to give a sense of duration to these hand woven abstract objects as they sit gently in the natural environment. Anne's slow flowing video allows for drifting in a dreamy manner amongst these artefacts which, like nature, have a transient existence. "During my resideny at Gunyah I plan to create small delicate sculptural forms inspired by the surrounding natural environment. I will also make some cyanotype prints of the local plants and create a video about my creative processes and residency at Gunyah." - continue reading - https://gunyah.blogspot.com//upcoming-artist-in-residence- See more

13.01.2022 Delighted to introduce the first artist-in-residence for 2021, James Vicars, author. "During my residency at Gunyah, I'm planning to continue working on my creative memoir, provisionally entitled 'The Year of Writing Dangerously'. I began writing this in 2018 while living with my partner in her handmade house in the bush in northern NSW. Sadly, we lost the house in the Kangawalla bushfire of November 8, 2019, and our community was devastated. During my time at Gunyah I plan to further develop and edit this creative work and to find ways to incorporate my experience of this immense bush fire catastrophe, its wider impact, what can be learned from it, and what new beginnings might look like." - continue reading - http://gunyah.blogspot.com//upcoming-artist-in-residence-j

02.01.2022 November 2020 residency report from Riona Twomey Tindal - posted on the Gunyah AIR blog! Extract: ‘’’ ... After finishing my PhD degree, I stopped making art full time. Utterly burnt out in 2016. The urge and the trickle of the desire to create began towards the end of the year 2019 when I applied and was successful for a Gunyah residency. I spent the entire year planning and dreaming. And longed for it to happen now. Life was so hectic, even with COVID, losing one job, r...esigning from one, and starting a new job and a business at the same time, I had no time for art. Busy work life with poor balance. I was so grateful to just get away and do something purely creative. Once I arrived at Gunyah, it was a familiar environment as I spent summers as a child not far from Gunyah. The first night I was excited and set up everything and had a dinner looking out the cove. Next day, I hit the ground running doing videos, sketching and planning. Then 24 hours later, I got stuck! Mentally stuck ...’’ - continue reading https://gunyah.blogspot.com//residency-report-riona-tindal Image credit: Riona Tinda, Field study of the North Arm Cove, 2020, acrylic on canvas @gunyahartists @riorioartist #residency #report #rionatindal #painting #deafarts #northarmcove #artistinresidence #onworimiland #nswregionalarts #gunyahartists
