Bundanon

Jahnne Pasco-White’s painting practice is characterised by a sense of ongoing entanglement: bringing a distillation of conceptual research (from disciplines including ecology, feminism, and the field of human relations) into play with a material process that includes methods such as natural dying, staining, assembling, drawing, painting, collage and sewing. The resulting paintings, themselves often made from repurposed artworks and other recycled everyday materials, also come into relation with one another; both in the process of their making (Pasco-White often works simultaneously

across multiple works at a time, moving between macro and micro details) and compositionally when exhibited in the gallery (overlapping, obscuring, and directly communing with one another, as a collective body of painting).

In Residence at Bundanon

The residency at Bundanon would provide a rare opportunity to develop further my own production of pigments from garden and household wastes in conversation with others. More akin to fieldwork—the residency will be a time to carry out my existing processes of foraging weeds and experimenting with extracting pigments and devising colour palettes from organic matter, within a site that is both rich with scientific documentation and artistic heritage.
