Bundanon residency fosters a visual perspective
Wollongong based abstract painter Keith Rutherford is the recipient of the third Accessible Arts’ Bundanon Artist in Residence program. With support from Bundanon Trust, Fern Studio at Bundanon has been made available for the artist in residence program.
Rutherford has exhibited extensively across NSW and has been included in significant survey exhibitions such as Local : Current at Wollongong City Gallery. Throughout his career, Rutherford has also exhibited in major art prizes, including the Hazelhurst Art Award for Works on Paper, Hazelhurst Regional Gallery and both the Dobell Prize for Drawing and Wynne Prize, Art Gallery of NSW.
Since 2007, Rutherford has identified as a person who is blind and he has experienced Stargardt disease since birth. Deliberately bringing this visual perspective to his work, Rutherford will undertake the four-week residency in March 2012 and receive a $3000 stipend from Accessible Arts.
"I will use the opportunity to purchase quality art materials and build on my body of work, informed from the Stargardt’s experience and the natural environment of Bundanon" he said.
The Accessible Arts' Bundanon Residency program aims to foster further professional development opportunities for NSW artists who experience disability.
