Meet The Project Alchemy Artist Team
The Rebus Team is delighted to announce the PROJECT ALCHEMY ARTISTS!
Please give a warm welcome to Michele Grimston (Visual Artist/Textiles) who will be delivering an artist led bushfire project in the ACT.
Michele Grimston is a Canberra based visual artist who works predominantly with textile practices, including embroidery, tapestry and sewing. She is interested in exploring ways that investing our time, attention and care in things can create objects of great meaning and enable a state of being that allows us to foster a greater level of intimacy with ourselves, others and the world. This draws on established traditions of communal making where the act of creating together opens up spaces for deep listening and community connection, building stories that shape culture through the process of creativity.
Michele holds a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Honours) and a Masters in Community Cultural Development. She has led many community arts projects at schools and with community groups in Western Australia and Canberra, and has been employed in arts education and community cultural development roles for arts centres and local governments as well as pursuing her personal artistic practice.
