REDLAND ART GALLERY | CANAIPA MUDLINES: ART AND ENVIRONMENT – SUNDAY 25 OCTOBER to SUNDAY 6 DECEMBER 2020
Canaipa Mudlines began in 2016 with a small collective of Southern Moreton Bay Island artists seeking ways of connecting their creative practices with the island ecology. Based on Canaipa (Russell) Island, the project has developed as both established and emerging artists from the island and beyond make regular site excursions to create mostly ephemeral works in response to the places and qualities they encounter. Working in this way has contributed to both surprising developments in their individual practices and highlighting the often overlooked richness of the island environment.
