Meet the studio residents

Jennis Ardern

Jennis Ardern is a multidisciplinary artist. Known for her colourful landscape paintings and participatory installations. Her artworks are welcoming, using heightened, saturated, bright colours. Her fanciful, patchwork paintings evoke memories of child-like wonder by combining actual and remembered places.

Her artwork is spirited and peaceful. She invites viewers to explore their identification with natural landscapes. Her collaborative and interactive installations harness co-creation strategies. She invites viewers to touch or add to the artwork.

During this residency, Jennis will extend her existing body of work through experimentation. Developing nature-inspired assemblage using a mix of new, found, and recycled materials. This exploration will allow Jennis to transform her 2D painted landscapes into 3D sculptural artworks.

Community members can get involved in the creative process with her drop-in collaborative art sessions. Jennis has hand-cut plenty of coral and fish out of reclaimed Coreflute signage. Visitors to The Hub can revitalise this bleached reef, using paint to add colour and texture to the scene.

Larysa Fabok

Larysa uses a combination of traditional methods and digital tools in her artwork. Such as combining modelling and animation with photography and painted surfaces. Her influences come from nature and playing. She practices using art to release the inner child within. So that she can play, and satisfy her curiosity and interests daily.

The Artist's Way, Carl Jung’s Red Book, and his Active Imagination process, a rigorous, defined procedure for channelling creativity, influence her methods. Her story, Play Like a Rite, documents the process of using Active Imagination for health and holistic medicine.

During this studio residency, Larysa will use the Active Imagination process to channel a story of a child who grew up too fast, turning their back on all thoughts of playing. It is a story that she wishes she had found in a library book when she was a child. The book will be full of soft, glowing, beautiful pictures. It will hint at the unnerving horror of the life of an adult child in a dysfunctional family system.

Larysa will experiment with ways of producing this as a storybook. She hopes to also share her work-in-progress with the community and has an interest in facilitating workshops for people to explore their inner voices through pictures. To discover their own unique stories.

During this studio residency, Anna will continue working on her latest series of contemporary ceramics inspired by a wayfaring methodology of walking around the foreshores of Deception Bay, Nudgee Beach and Redcliffe. She will have her ceramic wheel in the studio. 

Interested visitors to The Hub, are welcome to watch her work.
