Kim Anderson to conduct Artist-in-Residence at Echigo-Tsumari

7 July 2011 - 31 August 2011

Ms Kim Anderson from Ballarat, Victoria, Australia has been selected to participate in the Artist-in-Residence program 2011 at Echigo-Tsumari.

Ms Anderson has commenced a one-month residency from 7 July to 7 August at Echigo-Tsumari, collaborating with the local community to create artworks.  These will then be shown in an exhibition to be held from 1-31 August 2011 at Nobutai, Tokamachi city, Niigata prefecture.

Ms Anderson produces works primarily inspired by images of the body - in particular, the expressive potential of the hands, the feet and the minute details of the skin.  More than any other part of the body these bear the traces and scars left by the repetitions of our daily lives, and they are the means by which we leave our mark upon the world around us.  A recent development in her artistic exploration has been to take this interest in the body much further and explore the parallels to be found in both the built and natural worlds.
