On the final day of Solastalgia & tomorrow, Creative Producer and participating artist Bridget Nicholson led a public discussion with five of the seven artists involved in the exhibition – including Belinda Broughton, Karena Goldfinch, Linda Knight, Bridget Nicholson (Creative Producer), and Michael Shirrefs – about their work in relation to the ‘solastalgia’ phenomenon.

As the artists utilise different mediums to express their feelings, we heard about the processes that inform their choices. Michael and sound, Belinda and poetry and drawing, Karena and botanical printing and birds, Linda drawing and ideas of mapping, Bridget clay, felt and the body.

It was an informal conversation, a time to ask questions, to probe and prod the artists and for us to enjoy the fine art of conversation.
