Jess Fairfax is enjoying the opportunity to sit down and focus on her next project as part of Create [SPACE] Wyndham.
Fairfax is one of four local artists who are part of an inaugural artist-in-residence program which gives artists a space to work, a small grant and support by the Wyndham arts and culture team over a three-month period from July to September.
Fairfax, who is a sound artist and creative producer, said it was a really great initiative.
“Artists don’t have a lot of time and resources to do things like this,” she said. “To be able to have time to do things and what you want to do is really rare.”
Fairfax does a lot of work with sound including making podcasts and soundscapes and has spent nine years in broadcasting.
She said the environment plays a big influence in her work and would be part of the focus of this project and how it’s part of people finding a sense of themselves.
Fairfax said she wanted to be based at Point Cook library which has an amazing collection of books for inspiration.
