Residency 16th March – 20th April. (Cancelledand update coming due to COVID 19)
Workshops: TBC April
Lucille’s residency project at Vancouver Arts Centre is founded on a response to discovering the detailed black and white photographic images her father, Joshep Martin (deceased), captured in and around the spectacular Great Southern and Albany Region of Western Australia between the 1940’s and 1950’s.
“The small collection of images depict the beauty and detail of the natural landscape, striking ocean views, vegetation and many of the magnificent rock formations of the country he loved so much,” shares Lucille.
The VAC project is the final stage of an immersive year long program for Lucille, first inspired during a peer-awarded residency in New South Wales in 2019, followed by residencies in Hobart and Cradle Mountain, Tasmania.
While the broader aspects of the year long program of work explore notions of identity, memory and place in the Australian environment and landscape, Lucille’s recent imagery has emerged the her iPhonepgraphy process of walking the materiality of capture, to find new visual perspectives of landscape and nature in relation to the recent fires in Australia and Climate Crisis.
Vancouver Arts Centre AIR links the four residency projects connecting the farthest Southern points of East and Western Australia.

“Micah’s passage spoke to me about a spiritual relationship to nature and the pressing need for a unified and universal connection of healing and repair for our planet. Thematically the imagery is underpinned by my concern for our environment and all species, in relation to recent catastrophic fires of 2019 -20, resulting from climate change.” Lucille Martin
