WELCOME NEW STUDIO RESIDENTS

Studio Zero: Anna Dunnill

Anna Dunnill is a Perth-based artist whose practice involves drawing, embroidery and stick-and-poke tattooing while exploring the themes of communication, anxiety and human connection/isolation. During her residency she will investigate the performative possibilities of tattoo and embroidery, along with the unconventional narratives and modes of communication through these forms.

Studio Two: Peter Cheng

Following on from his latest video project and self-published book, film maker and visual artist Peter Cheng will be developing an extension of his arts documentary project entitled Perth Artists. Peter hopes to profile a new selection of artists ranging diverse creative fields to develop a contemporarily relevant and holistic understanding of local artisanship.
