Jamie Macchiusi and Gemma Weston will use their studio residency to explore the iconography and cultural significance of the Western/Australian ‘weekend away’. The studio will be utilised as a kind of campsite – a place to temporarily accommodate their ingenuity, to publicly indulge their isolationist desires and to ‘reconnect’ with some real or internal wilderness – allowing the artists to develop their shared interest in bricolage as a methodology for art-making and to explore the intersection of personal and cultural narratives.
