Multi-disciplinary Australian artist Lucy Zola is undertaking a 1-month Open Residency for International Artists at Rimbun Dahan in February 2024. During Open Day on 25 February 2024, Lucy will be sharing her multi-disciplinary works exploring the tranquility and unease evoked by the night.
About the Artist
Lucy Zola is a multi-disciplinary artist and musician from Adelaide, South Australia, who works in sonic art, installation, sculpture, interactive digital art, and photography. Rooted in the discourse of walking, Zola’s creations reflect on the human condition and our interconnection with the environment.
Lucy has been studying and undertaking language training, internships and artist residencies abroad on a New Colombo Plan Scholarship for the past year, her journey taking her to South Korea, Malaysia and soon Nepal.
In her artistic practice, Lucy strives to spotlight the overlooked beauty and richness inherent in ordinary sights and sounds. Through her work, she seeks to evoke the emotions and atmospheres of the landscapes she traverses, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in these settings and cultivate a deeper appreciation for their surroundings. Amidst an age marked by technology-induced detachment, her goal is to reveal both the allure and disquiet of the auditory and visual realms that surround us.
About the Residency
During her residency at Rimbun Dahan, Lucy’s explorations have also extended into the nocturnal domain, where she uncovers the delicate interplay between beauty and terror interwoven into the visual and auditory tapestry of the night. Her objective is to convey the coexistence of tranquillity and unease within these nocturnal landscapes, drawing from personal encounters with fear, fascination, and anxiety.
Lucy will be presenting her ongoing works, including an interactive digital graphic notation, sculpture, photographs accompanied by soundscapes, and an experimental film.
