An artist in my own residence

I'm in a huge transition period and it's quite unsettling. It really doesn't help with one's art practice - there's too much shifting and newness to allow me to document a body of work or even begin to tackle a subject.

Finding themselves at a life crossroad, creative directors Soula and Theo Mantalvanos of ooi - creative communication, decided to grant themselves four months of thinking time on the East Coast of Tasmania.
