ALICE ANNA FORD

Taking Shape was an annual artist residency held at Donnelly River Timber Mill Village on Bibulman Boodjar, South West Australia.

Six artists cohabited and worked in one house over one week, forming a temporary studio. The residency functioned as an intensive period of bush walks and conversations, with practices spanning painting, soft sculpture, ceramics, engraving, sound, and film.

The week emphasised the artists lives in temporary relationship with the forest and the Donnelly River Cottage cottage: shared meals, shared tools, shared quiet.

During her residency, Alice Anna Ford worked with gouache and oil, tracing in the form of a triptych three sections of the Karri forest as ground, trunk and sky, and a series of moments the artists shared.
