Faridah McCaul: Artist in Residence  

Her work encompasses water-based media as well as documentary photographic media to explore elements of 'moments in time', often producing quick studies to capture as much as possible. Neilsen takes constant inspiration from the world around her, and is always noticing the beauty in the smallest moments. She wishes to teach workshops and retreats around Australia - drawing elements from the multitude of landscapes this land has to offer.&nbsp;

Her practice is centred on experimenting with clays and firing processes, drawing inspiration from architectural forms, and weathered surfaces and textures.&nbsp;She blends the precision of structured handbuilt forms with the unpredictable beauty of saggar firing. This exploration of the structured and the spontaneous, the predictable and the unpredictable forms the core narrative of her work.

Raised in the Sunshine Coast hinterlands, she channels nature's rhythms into luminous colours and fluid textures across oils, ink, and mixed media.

Following an experience with psychogenic dysphonia, Fari's art evolved into her primary form of expression. Each brushstroke captures the energy and emotion of moments in time. Her work moves across surfaces in layered colours and shifting forms, embracing spontaneity and allowing the process to lead to the outcome.

Now based in Ipswich, McCaul has found the city's vibrant creative community to be a catalyst for artistic growth. During this residency, she will deepen her exploration of visual storytelling while creating a space for visitors to discover creativity as their own path of self-expression, healing, and meaningful connection.
