Kim Williams describes the quirky evolution of the interactive waterway model that featured in the Waterland exhibition.
Cementa 22 featured the wonderful work of Georgie Pollard and Leanne Thompson, allowing us to revisit all the elements of the Capertee Hydrology Project.
It’s funny how time gets away from you. This year I took the big leap to study full-time Honours in Ecology at UNE, and while I am loving every minute of it, my brain is too full of measuring pasture groundcover and landscape function to make space for anything else. And so, despite my best intentions I am yet to publish my farmer stories for ‘Farmers in Flux’.
Imogen Semmler and Judi Earl have cooked up something fabulous: The Grazing Game. How do you maintain a healthy ecosystem in your paddocks, weather drought, withstand market fluctuations and other curve balls, while making a living from keeping livestock? Imogen got Cementa punters to wear their strategy hats last November at the first trial of the Game.
Kim and Lucas have been very busy working with collaborators in Mackay on a project that reimagines the relationship between sugarcane farming and The Reef, and has sunflowers at its heart. Kim’s penned some songs, Lucas has written some reflections and there’s a lovely video of a planting event last year too.
Members of KSCA were invited to contribute to the Hyper Rural: the end of Urbanism? Symposium at Manchester Metropolitan University in November 2017. We prepared this video, which discusses KSCA's approach to art, as well as the 'Sugar vs. the Reef?' project which is led by KSCA members Lucas Ihlein and Kim Williams.
