Cassie Sullivan was chosen as the 2024 Funded Residency recipient and will spend time at The Farm later this year.
"Sullivan’s material acuity immediately stood out in her submission. Her multi-sensory practice of engagement with Country was exceptionally realised and interwoven with clarity and sensitivity through her writing. Her proposal for eight weeks residency at The Farm researching the themes of waters and ancestral memory will be very special site responsive work" - Penny Coss, 2023.
I work towards having a responsive, intimate and experimental practice that crosses disciplines of moving image, photography, writing, sound, installation and printmaking. I am currently exploring themes of intergenerational experience and trauma that reside in bodily memory. I am investigating the ways in which knowledge from my indigenous lineage has been both carried and lost within my identity and body. I work with a process driven and experimental practice giving hierarchy to a sensory engagement with Country. I am constantly questioning what can be imbued through materiality to give voice to complex identities and sites of significance.
