Caroline Rothwell has been selected as the inaugural artist in residence at Bondi Public School.
Caroline is a Bondi resident and will use the studio to create her solo exhibition for the Grantpirrie Gallery later this year.
"I would be working towards this exhibition throughout the residency. The children would be welcome to drop into my studio at arranged times and I will show them the work and discuss its progress. They could also come to the exhibition thereby experiencing the larger process of a professional artist’s working life...
My aim would be to maximize the benefits of the residency for everyone concerned... All the works I plan to make are appropriate for viewing by children. I believe kids and adults will engage with it in many different ways.
My art projects (with the children of) Bondi Public will deal in part with local flora and fauna and natural forces. Biological exchange between places and people is territory I have explored for more than five years in several countries.
I am excited about sharing these and other ideas with the Bondi Public School Community."
We welcome Caroline into our school community. We anticipate a mutually stimulating and beneficial relationship with the first of a long line of artists' in residence.
