Our 2001 Artist in Residence, Gabby O’Connor, worked in the Art Department during the first part of Term Three. Since graduating from the Victorian College of the Arts, she has worked continuously on various projects and collaborations involving dance, music and exhibition. She participated in the Studio artist programme at 200 Gertrude St Gallery in Fitzroy, Victoria and co-founded the collaborative ensemble, Slide into Sound, developing public audio visual installations and performances with sound artist/musician Elissa Goodrich. Gabby's artistic practice is divided in two. Her private practice involves the creation of site specific installations and objects out of paper and light, whilst her collaborative work with Slide into Sound and other groups involves the creation of projects (35mm slide and video) for installation in public and private spaces. Gabby spent time developing a new body of work whilst in the school and worked with senior Visual Arts students. Her residency ended mid term, with a very successful public viewing of an installation work.  |
