NT TIME
$6,000
Traveling through country where the needle-sharp spinifex permeates the vast covering of weather shattered rock. The ground carries the battle scars of forces within and from a long time ago. Boabs hold secrets, gathered over a thousand years as formations of Fluro green budgies, flit between waterholes. A bower bird assembles twigs and soon after the magpie geese return. As the sun sets, rufous owls move to their hunting perch and snack on small mammals. A fragile, ancient landscape, hot and compelling that many of us call home.

Studies included Jewellery and Painting through the South Australian College of Art and Education, and University of Tasmania. Teaching full time and painting, exhibiting locally was the pattern for many years, but a Residency at the local NT Wildlife Park in 2016 changed the balance and working is now part time. Since then, Residencies have been done at Tactile Art in Darwin, The Tank, Cairns and at Witchelina, SA. Katie currently is based at Tactile Arts.
