Many ‘Walking Country’ experiences with groups, plus workshops. Caroline has known and worked with Dulumunmun, Yuin man from
South Coast NSW over decades, taking people into Country to hear his stories, sometimes weaving her stories of encounters with Aborignal
people in Brewarrina, in Arnhemland, in Central Australia, with his stories and teachings.
Facilitating book-making, image- and word-making arising from these ‘Bush’ experiences -- for expression of the learning.
Hand book-making is a feature of the workshops.
- Travels in Scotland, Denmark and Bhutan have produced a swag of visual artwork, poetry, prose, writings.
- Double-sided Painterly Works are available [dimensions]- these can be hung in a large space or where a window provides viewing from both
sides ….each image viewed in this way is different ….suggesting landscape sof different kinds in colour and texture.
They resemble stained glass windows where light plays with colour.
