Jack started drawing at Taronga Western Plains Zoo for this new body of work “Why Look at Animals?”. Many days visiting the circuit courtesy of the Zoo has produced about 70 small drawings, 1000 stills and some video. Small drawings, such as the one below, have a colour wash added - are now available to purchase at Western Plains Cultural Centre to support the ongoing development of the project. Along with the photos they will be the basis for larger works on canvas, prints and video for an exhibition sometime in 2020.
We are also using this project as a model for supporting our international residency. The Tree House accommodation has already hosted number of creatives including a music writer and a VR artist. Drop us a message if you would like further info on these projects….
