Bundanon

Michael McIntyre is a multi-disciplinary artist working in the areas of painting, craft and installation.

He has a BFA in textiles from Edith Cowan University, Perth and a BFA in painting at the National Art School, Sydney.  McIntyre’s work is concerned with nature and interconnectivity.

Michael McIntyre’s  practice is most often preoccupied with the existential ‘patterns’ and interconnectivity, using painting, craft and installation as a vehicle to articulate these themes.  The work is always handmade and often uses found or natural materials.  Most recently the work is made from found or hand dyed and printed paper to construct rhythmic patterned works that aim to reveal a sense of the underlying energies that exist in everything.

Christina Newberry is an Australian artist whose practice has a long history of embracing sustainability.

Her work is interdisciplinary including sculpture, collage, painting, embroidery and award-winning wearable art. Newberry sources recycled materials/objects which are then transformed using skills such as deconstruction/reconstruction, assemblage, and hand embroidery, to define new and innovative forms. She has exhibited her work both nationally and internationally.

In Residence at Bundanon

During the residency at Bundanon Michael McIntyre will work with artist Christina Newberry expanding an ongoing collaborative project concerned with the concepts of release, transition and control. The artists have been making and sending small postcard sized works back and forth in the post for the past two years, and will come together in the studio at Bundanon to translate the series of small works into a larger format.
