Earlier this week, I spent some time with artists Cindy Vogels and Alison Mooney to brain out and refine some of the ideas that have been floating around the studio.
I met Cindy in 2021 at the Bunya Mountains during the Arts On Top Regional Arts forum. I remember we were gathered around a fire chatting about her creative outputs like Space Girls Festival and making for Lady Gaga. We kept in contact via social media and I knew I had to cc her into what I was doing creatively.
Alison Mooney was a co-founder of theGRID hybrid arts collective space and I was lucky enough to work closely with her when I was a resident artist from around 2012 to 2015. I like the colour, vibrancy and play that Alison brings to her work. A journalist in a past life, I also appreciate her critical and curatorial eye.
Both artists provided insight into things that I either didn’t have the expertise with or helped me consider things I hadn’t before. This is one of the key wins in a collaborative creative process.
