 Scholars & Artists in Residence Program 2007

Excerpt from the National Film and Sound Archive Website:

The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA) collects, preserves and interprets the audiovisual heritage of Australia. To ensure permanent access to its collections, the NFSA has created the Scholars and Artists in Residence (SAR) program for researchers and creator-performers with an acknowledged record of significant achievement.

__About
In 2007 I was awarded one of the inaugural fellowships in what is now the Scholars and Artists in Residence program at the National Film and Sound Archive, Canberra.

I spent two months at the Archive conducting research. It was an extraordinary time of being both sensorially overwhelmed and in a state of creative bliss. I was able to sink very deeply into ideas and began to understand and articulate connections that were woven into my practices up until this time. The thinking and methods developed from this period formed the basis for my current trajectory.

I went to the Archive with a long list of subjects I was interested in exploring by engaging with the collection. I was willing to be flexible, as I already understood the tension of sourcing archival materials to work with - where what you would like to source doesn't exist or is not what you thought it would be, but that in a process of broad finding missions, other fascinating material would present itself.

It was in this way that I came across the Papua New Guinea materials. I had started to think of the work in 2003, so put it on my list of possibilities for exploration. What I found was a rich mixture of audio and visual materials from a variety of sources.
