Rory Daniel will project a quiet and meditative video work, produced during the making of ‘dwell’, onto the mattering forms on the beach.
With owl eyes, dingo feet and kangaroo ears, children and their adults will be encouraged to share the space, listen to stories from Pru and be guided to create with shells, seaweed, vines, clay, bark and leaves – maybe a nest or a home for a real or imagined creature.

Years 11 & 12 students from Clonard College Geelong join Pattie and Rory Daniel as part of ‘dwell’.
We will discuss “dwell’ as a trace and invite visitors will keep a look out for the traces they leave as part of the work. Maybe their trace will be ephemeral with the tide coming in from 10.30am.

George Carman will share narratives based on the rocks that mark the location of ‘dwell’ on the Lorne beach near the swing bridge. He will reflect on their residence – their dwelling - and their stories of transit to the beachscape. The 200 boulders in the circular plinth are relative newcomers when compared to the stable wave cut platform rocks exposed at low tide. As a geologist he will dwell on their marks that record their stories of provenance and time, telling the episodic history of volcanism and fluvial torrents. If time and weather permits, he will create a graphic record of their meaning for others to follow, find and to appreciate their messages.
With training in geology, George is is skilled at sculpting rock data to paint pictures of ancient landforms going back millions of years (paleogeography or fossil landscapes) and more recently has further developed his interests in observational/experimental drawing.
Do not mock the little rock
When you are dead and gone
The rock remains to carry on
Steady true and still
Standing in the sunshine by a hill
(Leunig)

pattie will share about her practice of inhabiting place as art and about ‘dwell’ as an exploration of sculpture as a trace … of making, thinking, collaborating… of alchemy … pattie calls it ‘mattering’ as part of nature. pattie will share about how traces helped transformed her relationship with place - from one of reaction and powering over to active and collaboration.
visitors are welcome to share in the conversation.

artist rosie harris-arnoft
“I was thinking I could make a nest on the beach using found objects then do some sketching using large charcoals of the items in the nest - sitting in the middle... “
rosie is a local anglesea artist and she loves nests. She is fascinated with them and finds immense joy in them. For rosie, nests symbolize nurturing, warmth and safety. She says “they can be so delicate, yet so protective and they remind me of my childhood. I collect them, paint them, print them and people gift them to me. For dwell I have decided to imagine myself a bird – nesting."

linda diggins will join Pattie on the beach at 10am and lead a short practice of mindfulness with anyone who would like to join.
“I don’t consider myself an artist but what i do try to do is be mindful, in the moment, to be present, and to really look at things and try to see them as they really are. I think an artist has an eye that sees things differently from a casual observer, to look beyond. This really fits with my Buddhist perspective and philosophy of life. I love to share my knowledge of meditation to explore the practice of mindfulness.”
