𝙎𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚 Elisa Smith 1 - 28 September Official Opening 1 September, 1pm. Over the years I have marvelled as the sunlight dances across a room, touching on this and that as it inches its way through the house, throwing light about, adding shimmer and glow to corners of rooms where hidden treasures lie. The play of light and the depth of shadow has always appealed to me, this is where I am on my track at present, watching for the ‘that’ moment as the sunlight drifts and the shadows darken, delighting in the detail between both. Hopefully some of this mucking about translates into something that resonates with you too x _________________________ “A lucky few find their path early on in life while the rest of us tend to diverge from it, knowing deep within their hearts and souls that our path is still there, just on the outskirts, but it’s just not our time yet. For many years I traversed roads that were purposeful, bringing depth and wonderful meaning to my world, relishing in the joy that they brought, all the while seeing glimpses of my path just to the side, still waiting, smiling like an old school friend, ‘come visit when you get time’ As life does, it brings you face to face with times that will test you and your ability to cling desperately on. While looking for solace and a place to heal, a way to quite the voices and still the breath, early in 2023 I found myself back of my original track, standing on a levee in the cool autumn afternoon breeze waiting and watching for the right light, camera in hand, revelling in the beauty unfolding before me. It was a moment of such profound peace and happiness that I knew I needed to replicate it daily. After having a mini stroke in July this year, today it is more poignant than ever to find myself in those moments. “ _________________________ Image: Blushing Beauties, 2024. Photographic Print.

Thrilled to be collaborating with La Trobe Art Institute seeking expressions of interest from artists to undertake a residency in Workspace 3496 + gallery. This is part of a larger research project based at La Trobe University exploring how drought is culturally understood and experienced in regional Victoria. The residency will support an artist to undertake self-directed research or create new work in response to the themes from the larger research project of Parched: Cultures of Drought in Regional Victoria. Applications from First Nations artists and artists from regional Victoria or drought-affected areas are especially encouraged. Alongside accommodation in Mildura, a fully subsidised studio space at Workspace 3496 will be available for three weeks, along with a residency fee of $6,000. Expressions of interest close 7 June 2024. ‘Parched’ is an interdisciplinary research project spanning visual arts, journalism, literary studies, history, and climate science. We are interested in how the meanings and experiences of Australian drought have changed over time and how responses to it have depended on local social and cultural contexts.
