Inspired by the artwork and legacy of Neltje, how to milk a ghost is a project and dance exploration that draws from Neltje’s bold gestures, layered textures, and uncompromising voice. It explores the relentlessly lingering presence of what has been silenced—voices buried, stories withheld, instincts muted. Ultimately, this is the beginning of experimentation focusing on reclamation: of voice, of space, of self.

Artist: Vivian Lynn

People interested in art recognize that every brush stroke of Renoir, Seurat, Kathleen Petyarre, Clifford Possum, to name a few, use each stroke or dab of their brush, to put together the parts of a story, a powerful story. I've studied these artist, and many more in my decades as a designer, painter, artist. In my many years living in Australia I became a student of Aboriginal art and folklore and my current work is now heavily influence by this concept of using a brush stroke, a point of paint, to create the work in this exhibition. Perhaps a new take on pointillism.  My inspiration comes from photos from space, the natural world around us and the graphic lines in our urban landscape.
