Meet The Project Alchemy Artist Team
The Rebus Team is delighted to announce the PROJECT ALCHEMY ARTISTS! Please give a warm welcome to Robyn Williams (Mixed Media Artist/Art Therapist) who will be delivering an artist led bushfire project in Bega Valley Shire.

“Inspired by the natural world around me, my art practice has led me to experiment with a mix of media, from painting, textiles and works in glass, to eco dying and botanic drawing on paper.”

“When out in nature, as I move through a particular site or place, I photograph and key out species of plants and get a sense of what fauna and bird species may be present. I collect material that becomes the basis for creating works on paper, cloth or three-dimensional installations. The land itself provides the inspiration and resources I need for my work, so, in that regard, I feel that whatever I make is a collaborative effort.”

Please give a warm welcome to Sue Norman (Artist/Writer/Radio Producer) who will be delivering an artist led bushfire project in Bega Valley Shire.
Sue Norman lives at the edge of the forest in Kiah. Her partner, Mick, saved the old timber house from the 2020 fire by turning on the spray system then sheltering in the bunker. They now watch the forest going through the process of healing; seeing the struggle for balance as the world warms.
Over the years Sue has enjoyed working as an artist, a teacher, a radio producer, a writer, a gardener and historian. She has always worked at helping people to find their voice.

The Rebus Team is delighted to announce the PROJECT ALCHEMY ARTISTS! Please give a warm welcome to Lee Nickless (Digital Artist/Muralist/Art Educator) who will be delivering an artist led bushfire project in East Gippsland.
I am an East Gippsland resident, my work focuses on the natural environment and derives its inspiration from it. My current work is exploring mimicry in nature. I use nature to inform my digital creations. I am very engaged with my community and derive my inspiration and motivation from community focused projects. My work is primarily collaborative, working with my local art community.

The Rebus Team is delighted to announce the EUROBODALLA SHIRE PROJECT ALCHEMY ARTISTS!
Please give a warm welcome to Deb Cleland (Activist/Artist/Academic) who will be delivering an artist led bushfire project in Eurobodalla Shire.

Deb Cleland (she/her) is an activist/ artist/ academic, with all the compromise and circuitous life paths that those slashes imply. She dabbles in interactive theatre and games, site-specific place-making, and creative non-fiction, hoping to bring her research into social justice, inclusion and sustainability to life through writing and performance. Since 2012, Deb has been devising, directing and participating in ensemble work that asks questions about co-existence, co-operation and how to claim space as an unwelcome body of any kind.
