Dreaming of a picture

Kathryn Junor is from Torquay.

Photographer Rebecca Hosking dreamed up a creative project to re-engage and enliven the Surf Coast after the COVID lockdowns via the transformative nature of vibrant art.

By bringing artists from different Surf Coast towns together, who specialise in different mediums, for a new art concept and new project, with the outcome to share this with the public via a large scale Art Projection Installation.

The metamorphosis of vibrant moving paint landscapes will illuminate a wall on the Surf Coast, engaging and uplifting the community with the transformative power of art, accompanied by a deep and lifting soundscape.

“Illumination explores the transformative nature of life, our land and constellations beyond, honouring our First Nations People’s ancient culture’s storytelling medium of paint,” Rebecca said.

“Multidisciplinary artists and art forms from the Surf Coast combine to create Illumination. film, paint, music.

“It is an experimental art form bringing together Surf Coast painting artists, sound artists with film and projection art to transform a stadium wall in the Surf Coast, for one night only, to connect community and enliven the senses, with vibrant art.”

Everyone is welcome to attend with the creation playing on a loop with timed entries for spread out viewing experiences.

Tickets are timed for comfortable viewing, as part of the COVID safe policy and method, and for fluid event date communications. Tickets are also a way to support the artists who have created the art event.

The project is made possible by being a recipient of the Surf Coast Shire’s Covid Recovery Grants.

Tickets are $5 each (with a $0.50 booking fee) via Eventbrite
