Seedpod Pilot was the first Queensland based residency program from renowned live arts organisation, Punctum, presented in collaboration with Horizon Festival, Arts Coast and Creative Spaces. For two weeks, artist Bianca Tainsh<\/a> worked under the mentorship of Jude Anderson, navigating the cultural landscape of the Sunshine Coast, searching for Integrity. Bianca shared her experience of the residency with us.. <\/p>\n

A Commitment to Process and Life Practice<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Investigative process is always fundamental to my projects. To me it\u2019s more than a developmental pursuit. It\u2019s art in action, whether it\u2019s experimenting in my studio, on the net gathering research material for a project archive, or on the streets collecting the thoughts of individuals – it is art happening. When I\u2019m in this mode I am enacting a role or a persona of sorts. And since the initiation of a long-term project in the form of an ideological initiative of which I am the protagonist and paragon, my art and life practice are becoming increasingly symbiotic.<\/p>\n

My Seedpod project brought this to a whole new level, and it has felt like I have taken the leap that was needed, but had been hesitating to make. It\u2019s amazing what can happen in two weeks, especially with a mentor like Jude Anderson who is astute on finding the crux of her prot\u00e9g\u00e9\u2019s concept and prompting a plan to action. In my two weeks I embarked on a journey of ambitiously connecting with people, inviting them to self-reflect, interact, join a dialogue, and even unite as a membership within the project. To do this I had to jump the hurdle of self-doubt and embrace my role as protagonist. And, being able to \u2018get on with it\u2019 has also paved the way for real discipline in my art-life practice. As First Member of my initiative The League for Human Integrity I have principles to practice through my art, my everyday life, and on a metaphysical level. I have to make lots of things happen and inspire a now growing community of individuals who are invested in what the project is striving for.<\/p>\n

On reflection now, I think that the dedicated research process that I carried out in my past projects armed me with the confidence to present works that took bold creative and conceptual leaps. Through this research I would build a store of material to draw from that allowed my works to have multi-layered meanings and divergent perceptual forms. Now it is as though all the investigation that went into those projects has fortified a solid platform for Integrity and my role as First Member. A commitment to research as process has proved to be the most profound impetus in the evolution of my practice to what it is today.<\/p>\n

Seedpod was the conduit for this process of realisation. I thank Horizon for facilitating this creative platform, and I thank Jude for being my protagonist when I needed it most.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
