artist in residency

just a quick hello! i am at an artist in residency that is in the middle of no where. there is no phone or internet access, (i am in town getting food and art supplies today with a chance to go online) and there is only me and 2 other artists on site. it is in the middle of the Australian bush and it is great. at first i was a bit worried about the no internet/phone access, but really it is kind of nice, there is nothing to worry about no distractions and you just get on with bush walking or making work in the studio or reading or writing. i have been here 3 days now and have 7 more to go. its nice, no responsibilities.



this is me hiking up a track, it is absolutely beautiful here.



this is the track, it is just starting to rain lightly. it has rained everyday i am here but really i don't mind at all. i have a new rain jacket and it is nice to be int he studio when it is really pouring down.



and this is my new wombat friend casandra. she lives under the place i am staying and i have seen her every night. there are plenty of other wombats here too, which is good as they are my favorite animal. something about the short stockiness i like about them.

more about what i am doing while i am here when i get back to civilization a week or so.
