Lead by artist and Environmental Education Officer Christina Reid. Participants will create relief printed bookmarks depicting the feathers of black swans and other bird species now lost from the region. The printed bookmarks will serve as mementos, reflecting on the significant loss of Black Swans to the Wagga Wagga Beach area of the Murrumbidgee.
Christina Reid is a multi-disciplinary graphic artist with a love of old school, hands-on processes who specialises in the areas of printmaking, drawing and illustration. She has grown up in the Wagga Wagga area and has spent her childhood immersed in the surrounding natural environment. Having initially trained in Graphic Design at Charles Sturt University, she has many years of experience as a teacher at TAFE NSW. In later years, her own art practice has turned to honouring our native species, especially some of our most vulnerable critters, in the hope of highlighting their presence and celebrating their resilience.
