The Rebus Team is delighted to announce the PROJECT ALCHEMY ARTISTS!
Please give a warm welcome to Sammy Hawker (Photographer/Documentary filmmaker) who will be delivering an artist led bushfire project in the ACT.
Sammy Hawker is an Australian based visual artist working predominantly on Ngunawal, Ngunnawal, Ngambri country [Canberra, ACT]. Sammy works primarily between the mediums of documentary video and traditional analogue photography and her work is created from an interest in the immaterial and material presences within a site.
In her practice Sammy examines forms of co-creation as a method of celebrating the voices of the worlds around us. She is particularly intrigued by the tactility of analogue film and the possibilities this presents in facilitating more-than human mark making on the final image. Sammy has co-created work with oceans, rivers, honey-bees, seaweed and Eucalpytus trees. The unpredictable input of these collaborators disrupts her authorial control and encourages a new ecology based on a postcolonial equality between the human and more-than human.
More information on other ACT artists and artists in Eurobodalla Shire, Bega Valley Shire, Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council and East Gippsland to come to you in the following weeks.

Project Alchemy is made possible thanks to funding from the Australian Government for the Black Summer Bushfire Grant Program.
Rebus is also supported by Ainslie and Gorman Arts Centres and the ACT Government.
