2024 Artist-in-Residence & upcoming exhibition at Abbotsford Convent
Louise Marson was awarded the prestigious Convent’s Maguire Residency. From July to December 2024, Marson will reside at the Convent’s studio and engage the local community as she conceptualise, research and develop her new body of work, Flourish: Echoes of History.
Flourish: Echoes of History will be a contemporary botanical sculptural installation, exploring the intertwined history of people and nature within Yarra.
Blending sculptural elements with audio-visual archival materials and a soundscape, it invites diverse audiences to embark on an immersive journey through the Convent's complex history and celebrates the ‘now’ as a socially diverse arts precinct that brings people together.
