"Since 2001, I have lived in the ACT region, on Ngunnawal country, where I am active as an artist, researcher and digital engagement specialist." TB
I found Australian artist Tracey Benson's work stunningly beautiful...visually, auditor-ally, and in the living, moving earth centered content. It’s meditative, contemplative, and profoundly spiritual. Her collaborations are as organic as the subject matter. Her work, all of it, digital images, videos, sound elements, performances within, in the most subtle and inconspicuous ways, is ritualistic. She honors life and creativity simply by creating and presenting what she sees on her walks. Her walks and the documentation of them are the work. It's such a simple concept and approach, and so profound at the same time. In a way, she is the Australian Joel Goldsworthy...only way better. Something about his work, for me, always strikes me as a bit contrived. Anyway, T. Benson's talk and presentation of her work inspires me to seriously consider re-directing, in a similar way, my own creative practice. Wow-wee.
