bootart

In the early 1980s I collaborated in the artist run space One Flat inaugurated by Brisbane/Meanjin artist and activist Jeanelle Hurst. In 2022, Jeanelle moved to the bayside suburb of Redcliffe on Ningy Ningy country. There she commenced Boot Art, a new community art engagement strategy working with the pre-existing local Bone Yard Collective. Boot Art is a wilding arts project researching a hybrid ARI (Artist Run Initiative)/Public Art model that stages evening events inviting the public to playfully explore art-making, activisim and community development. Jeanelle asked me to provide a series of drawing event ideas that were implemented on site by artist and researcher Louise Crompton.
